| Summary | "Natural History in Anecdote" by Alfred H. Miles is a collection of illustrated anecdotes focusing on the nature, habits, manners, and customs of various animals, birds, fishes, and reptiles, likely written in the late 19th century. The work aims to illuminate the study of animal life through entertaining stories that also reflect social and moral parallels. It is intended for both educators and general readers interested in natural history but who may not want to engage in more exhaustive scientific studies. The opening of the work sets the stage with a preface that emphasizes the importance of illustrations as tools for understanding and teaching about the natural world. Miles articulates that the primary objective of the collection is to compile captivating anecdotes that provide insights into animal behavior and contribute to a better comprehension of nature. He introduces biological concepts and classifications, including the various sub-kingdoms of the animal kingdom, which will form the basis for the anecdotes that follow. This early portion lays a foundation for engaging storytelling grounded in factual natural history, offering readers a glimpse into the fascinating lives of creatures they may encounter through the lens of anecdotes.
