1743rif. 7009London:: The College of Physicians 1743-51. First edition. Fine . Pl 124. The Greatest Bulfinch-hen. Original hand-colored copperplate engraving. Quarto 9 x 12 inches. Includes text. George Edwards London 1694-1773 was a Fellow of the Royal Society and Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in London who rejected his early formal training and potential career in business to pursue his passion in natural history. His dedication and talent as a draftsman and naturalist was evident thus gaining the attention of Sir Hans Sloane President of the College of Physicians and the Royal Society. Sir Hans offered Edwards the post of Librarian of the Royal College of Physicians in London and enlisted him to draw the natural curiosities of Sloane's private museum. This connection became the inspiration for Edward's masterful achievements; A Natural History of Uncommon Birds Published between 1743 and 1751 and the subsequent work; Gleanings of Natural History which was produced between 1758 and 1764. These two works illustrated and documented many previously unrecorded specimens of birds reptiles and insects held in England's private collections up to the mid eighteenth century. A monumental achievement Edwards documented- in English and French- painted engraved and hand-colored every one of the fine compositions in this Pre-Linnaean natural history opus. Although not a field naturalist Edwards placed many of his birds and animals in landscaped settings which was unusual for the time. In other compositions birds are elegantly perched on stylized branches in a classic Georgian format more decorative than realistic charming nonetheless. A gracious and humble man Edwards established firm and respected alliances with naturalist pioneers Carl Linnaeus 1707-78 Mark Catesby 1683-1749 from whom he learned the art of engraving and subsequently aided Catesby in the revision of his publication; The Natural History of Carolina Florida and the Bahama Islands London c.1754 as well as William Bartram from whom he acquired several species of Pennsylvanian birds included in his volumes. As Edwards' work predates the completion of the Linnaean classification system Linnaeus was to borrow the English names of many of Edwards species for his renowned work on classification and nomenclature.

2005rif. 25050101Blackwell Publishing Australia 2005. Reprint. Hardcover. Fine. Hardcover. 1137 pages. PUBLISHING DETAILS: Blackwell Publishing Australia 2005. Reprint. CONDITION: This book is in fine condition. More specifically: Boards have no wear rubbing or soiling. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. ABOUT THIS BOOK: This text is divided into three main sections: the mare the stallion and the neonate. Each is equally important to veterinarians involved in equine reproductive practice. Too often interest in the mare wanes once her pregnancy is diagnosed. Monitoring of pregnancy and neonatal care are areas of prime importance because presumably the aim of any breeding program is to produce viable offspring. In addition education regarding stallion reproductive physiology and management is alarmingly sparse and the stallion is often neglected despite being half the fertility equation. The discussions of the mare and stallion are divided into the following topics: anatomy physiology and endocrinology; breeding management; diseases of the reproductive tract; and reproductive surgery. Additional topics in the section on the mare are pregnancy parturition and the puerperal period. Discussion of the neonate is divided into neonatal care and diseases according to body systems.
