History of Four-Footed Beasts and Serpents and Insects by Edward Topsell

This is a complete version of Edward Topsell's work, scanned in from the original. It comes as three volumes, each detailing the animals of the world. Some of the animals described are now found in mythology books rather than natural history works. This book is a valuable insight into the natural history knowledge of the past.
