$275 · Offered by William Reese Company

REFUTATION OF CERTAIN MISREPRESENTATIONS ISSUED AGAINST THE AUTHOR OF THE "FAUNA AMERICANA," IN THE PHILADELPHIA FRANKLIN JOURNAL, NO. 1, 1826. AND IN THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW, NO. ... The FAUNA AMERICANA, Harlan's most important work, was the first systematic treatment of American mammals, but it was received with hostile criticism. Harlan, the noted Philadelphia naturalist, here thunders against the "assertions, dogmatical and gratuitous, false accusations, willful misrepresentations, and flat contradictions" of his multitudinous critics.
