An outline of the kingdoms of nature, for the use of schools by Christopher Irving Pdf
According the the preface, this work is intended for "teachers and schoolmasters" who teach natural history. Mentioned also are separately-published Darton & Clark prints that "may be conveniently used" alongside the text. The sections on zoology are distinguished by a wealth of melodramatic anecdotes, apparently intended to produce a strong impression on pupils, and the section on the vegetable kingdom is completely devoted to agriculture.
