First published in 1904 as the second edition of a 1901 original,
this book provides a beginner's guide to zoology, from simple life
forms to more sophisticated vertebrates. At the end of the sections
on each phylum a short table of classification is given to indicate
the general position of the animals mentioned in the general scheme
of the animal kingdom. The text is richly illustrated with over
three hundred diagrams and drawings for ease of comprehension. This
book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of
education.
John Willis Clark (1833-1910) devoted his life to the University of
Cambridge, and this 1913 memoir by A. E. Shipley, Master of
Christ's College, was a fitting tribute to a much admired man. His
father was professor of anatomy, and his maternal uncle, Robert
Willis, Jacksonian professor of natural philosophy. A scholar and
fellow of Trinity College, his talent and energy as an
administrator led to his appointment as superintendent of the
museum of comparative anatomy, and he considerably improved the
museum's collection. From natural history his interests were
diverted in 1875 - his uncle died, leaving his monumental
Architectural History of the University unfinished, and it was
Clark who completed it in 1886. In 1891 he became Registrary of the
University, which he remained until 1910, and was one of the
best-known figures in Cambridge, involved with everything from
administrative reform to student activities such as the triennial
Greek play.
