Description

On The Extent And Aims Of A National Museum Of Natural History is a book written by Richard Owen in 1862. In this book, Owen discusses the importance of a national museum of natural history and its potential to educate the public on the natural world. He argues that such a museum should include not only specimens of plants and animals, but also geological and mineralogical collections. Owen also emphasizes the need for proper organization and classification of specimens in the museum, as well as the importance of research and scientific study. He suggests that the museum should serve as a center for scientific inquiry and discovery, as well as a place for the public to learn about the natural world.Throughout the book, Owen draws on his extensive experience as a naturalist and curator of the British Museum of Natural History to make his case for the establishment of a national museum of natural history. He also provides detailed descriptions of the various collections that such a museum might include, as well as the potential benefits to society and science as a whole.Overall, On The Extent And Aims Of A National Museum Of Natural History is a compelling argument for the importance of natural history museums and their potential to educate and inspire the public. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of natural history and the role of museums in society.Including The Substance Of A Discourse On That Subject, Delivered At The Royal Institution Of Great Britain, On The Evening Of Friday, April 26, 1861.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
