Born in Switzerland, Louis Agassiz (1807-73) distinguished himself
as one of the most capable and industrious naturalists of the
nineteenth century, working in fields as diverse as ichthyology and
glaciology. In the late 1840s, he moved to North America, where he
became a professor of zoology at Harvard and established the Museum
of Comparative Zoology. His extensive bibliography of all known
works relating to zoology and geology, which he had compiled for
private use, was revised and substantially expanded by the English
naturalist Hugh Edwin Strickland (1811-53) and published by the Ray
Society in four volumes between 1848 and 1854. As such, it stands
as the fullest record of the existing scientific literature just
prior to the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species.
Volume 4 (1854), completed by Sir William Jardine (1800-74) after
the death of Strickland, concludes the list of works, arranged
alphabetically by author, ranging here from Naccari to Zwinger.
