Pagera Editor's Note
Aristotle's History of Animals is his large survey of animal life, translated here in ten books by Richard Cresswell from the Greek text edited by Schneider, in a printing of 1887 by George Bell and Sons. Aristotle describes the parts and organs of animals, contrasts blooded and bloodless animals, and discusses the senses, voice, sleep, mating, generation and the development of the young, as well as feeding, migration, hibernation, disease, habitats and character. His examples range over fishes, birds, insects, shellfish and mammals, including human beings. The tenth book is generally regarded as not written by Aristotle.
