About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Elements of Herpetology and Ichthyology by William Ruschenberger. Read in English by Nichalia Schwartz; Amy Gramour; Lucretia B.; Lauren Huff; Zarina Silverman; Larry Wilson This succinct little textbook from 1844 presents an introduction to herpetology and ichthyology. The information, albeit not current, is still interesting and of use as a general overview of reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Please note that the classification of the animals may have changed since this time, as well as their environmental status. The step back in time to hear the Victorian view of nature makes it a remarkable read in itself. The author was president of the Academy of Natural Sciences. - Summary by A. Gramour
