Excerpt from British Naturalist, Vol. 2: Or, Sketches of the More Interesting Productions of Britain and the Surrounding Sea, in the Scenes Which They Inhabit; And With Relation to the General Economy of Nature, and the Wisdom and Power of Its Author; The Year Spring, Summer The favourable reception of the first volume of "British Naturalist," has convinced the author that the plan, which he has attempted, of representing the works of creation in their natural groupes, is far from the least interesting; and it is certainly the best and, perhaps, the only way of making the pages of a written book have some resemblance to those of the book of nature, and thus rendering the transition from the closet to the field, a transition in degree only, and not one in kind, as it necessarily is when the plant or the animal, of which the written account has been studied, is found surrounded with other subjects, all of which are unknown, and, as novelties, really have the most attraction.

In this superb biography, Uglow tells the story of the farmers son who influenced book illustration for a century to come. It is a story of violent change, radical politics, lost ways of life, and the beauty of the wild--a journey to the beginning of a lasting obsession with the natural world.
