Donovan is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. This work serves as a monthly miscellany of exotic natural history, featuring elegantly colored plates along with detailed scientific descriptions of various curious, rare, and beautiful natural specimens recently discovered worldwide. The emphasis is on highlighting novelties that have not been adequately documented by previous naturalists. The opening of the volume outlines the author's intent and gratitude towards the growing public interest in the work. Donovan expresses his ambition to create a valuable compendium showcasing an array of discoveries in the fields of zoology and conchology, enriching natural history knowledge from afar, particularly focusing on foreign and exotic species. He discusses the relevance of the collected specimens, including various shells and insects, and mentions their scientific significance.
