"The Snakes of Europe" by George Albert Boulenger is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a comprehensive account of the snakes found across Europe, detailing their characteristics, distribution, and life histories. This detailed approach is likely to appeal to readers interested in herpetology or those seeking a deeper understanding of European snake species. The opening of the work presents a preface in which Boulenger outlines the lack of resources discussing European reptiles, specifically snakes, in the English language. He discusses the necessity of summarizing the available knowledge on various snake species, emphasizing his intent to keep the descriptions concise while ensuring accuracy through illustrations and contributions from various experts. The introduction hints at a structured classification of snakes based on scientific principles, paving the way for the chapters that follow, which cover aspects from external characteristics to the complexities of their habitats and interactions with humans.
