Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

A geological surveyor by trade, English author CHARLES GOULD
(1834-1893) was rather more interested in the strange
ornithological specimens he collected on his journeys around the
world. Mythical Monsters, the result of this deep and abiding
fascination, is one of the classics of the field of cryptozoology,
or the study of unknown or hidden creatures. Mythical Monsters
"reflects the curiosity for the natural world that Gould] carried
with him in his travels for most of his life," says cryptozoologist
Loren Coleman in his new introduction. "The book, naturally, dwells
on geological mysteries early in its pages, merging in his thoughts
on Atlantis, the Great Flood, and evidence for such events he saw
written in the land. But the bulk of the book is about 'monsters'
that intrigued Gould, including the unicorn, the phoenix, and the
dragon." Monsters also features an essential section on the
mysterious beasts of the ocean depths. This new edition, a replica
of the original 1886 first edition complete with the original
illustrations, is part of Cosimo's Loren Coleman Presents series.
LOREN COLEMAN is author of numerous books of cryptozoology,
including Bigfoot : The True Story of Apes in America and Mothman
and Other Curious Encounters.
