About this book
Selections from Pliny's Natural History, edited for young readers by John S. White, headmaster of the Berkeley School, make up this volume, which carries fifty-two illustrations. The chapters move from the shape of the world, comets, thunder and far-off lands to the forms and feats of different peoples, then to elephants, lions, the camel, the dog and the horse.
Further sections cover fishes, from dolphins and sharks to pearls and coral, and birds from the eagle to the nightingale. Pliny wrote in Latin in the first century and addressed his work to Titus Vespasian.
