This book was written by James Orton and published by Harper and Brothers Publishers in 1876. Comparative Zoology Structural and Systematic showcases early printing techniques and methods of displaying information in diagrams.
The book contains many illustrations of animals and their biological inner-workings. This ranges from cellular structures, nervous systems, muscles, and skeletons. While much information in this book is surprisingly accurate for its time, it is important to note that other ideas - including views on the scientific nature of race - are controversial, outdated, and offensive views of a bygone era.
