" This book presents in a convenient form for reference a collection of the quaint theories about Natural History accepted by Shakespeare and his contemporaries. The work is meant to be rather a sketch than an exhaustive treatise, otherwise it would fill many volumes. The plan of the book is to give some illustration of each word mentioned by Shakespeare when there is anything remarkable to be noted about it. The term "Natural History" has been taken in its widest sense, as including not only fauna but flora, as well as some precious stones." (Book ref. 130040)  £37.00
