Taxidermy, Bibliography and Biography. 
Engraved title reads : Taxidermy ; with the Biography of Zoologists, and notices 
of their works ; with a portrait of Swains on himself and a copy of his signature, 
July 1840. 
Abbreviated to Taxidermy only, no one would suspect the interesting contents of 
this little book; only the first 97 pages deal with Taxidermy, etc. ; and part n., entitled 
A Bibliography of Zoology, with biographical sketches of the principal authors, extends 
from p. 98 to the end, p. 392. 
Some of the sketches are good, but the autobiography of Swainson himself is invalua- 
able, while, of course, all the bibliographical details are tainted with Swainson’s curse, 
errors and misprints.
