Natural History in Shakespeare's Time is a book written by H.W. Seager that provides a comprehensive look at the natural world during the time of William Shakespeare. The book is a collection of extracts from various sources that Shakespeare would have been familiar with, such as books on botany, zoology, and geology. These extracts are presented in their original language, with annotations and explanations provided by the author. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the classification of plants and animals, the properties of minerals, and the study of the heavens. It also provides insights into the beliefs and superstitions of the time, such as the belief in witches and the medicinal properties of various plants. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the natural world during the Elizabethan era and how it influenced Shakespeare's works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
