It aims to present detailed figures and concise descriptions, reflecting the author's dedication to enhancing the understanding of animal species and their relationships within the natural world. The opening of this volume provides insights into Swainson's scientific philosophy as he dedicates his work to Mrs. Corrie and outlines the purpose of the illustrations. He mentions the importance of studying individual species to understand the complexities of animated nature, advocating for a collaborative spirit among naturalists who may approach their studies from different angles. The preface emphasizes the significance of accurate scientific illustration while acknowledging the controversies within the field regarding classification methods.
