“This timely and intellectually stimulating book forms the first part of an ambitious six-volume collection of primary sources dedicated to ‘science and visual culture in Great Britain in the long nineteenth century’. If all six volumes are as good as this, scholars of nineteenth century culture and science are in for a treat.”Samuel Shaw, Archives of Natural History issue 52.2.
