Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wood's Bible Animals: A Description of the Habits, Structure, and Uses of Every Living Creature Mentioned in the Scriptures, From the Ape to the Coral
Owing to the conditions of time, language, country, and race under which the various books of the Holy Scriptures were Written, it is impossible that they should be rightly understood at the present day, and in this land, without the aid of many departments of knowledge. Contemporary history, philology, geography, and ethnology must all be pressed into the service of the true Biblical scholar; and there is yet another science which is, to the full as important as either of the others. This is Natural History, in its widest sense.
