THE NATURAL HISTORY OF BRITISH FISHES

Westwood and Satchell point out that this is a rewritten work based on Buckland's earlier A familiar history of the British fishes, which the author refers to in the preface as the 'first edition'. The characteristics, economic uses and cultivation of many different fish species are discussed in a work completed by the zoologist a few days before his death.
