Description and Table of Contents
Description
William Marsden sought to establish a regular series of authenticated facts and to describe "things as they exist, rather than to display the powers of a creative imagination", writes Dr John Bastin in his Introduction to this reprint of a book that won immediate recognition as a model of descriptive composition when it was first published in 1793.
