This instructional book aims to provide comprehensive guidance on preparing and preserving birds, animals, and fishes. It serves as a practical resource for beginners who wish to learn taxidermy techniques without formal instruction. The book covers various aspects of taxidermy, beginning with detailed instructions on skinning and mounting birds, mammals, and fishes. Manton emphasizes the importance of careful observation of nature and the proper use of tools and materials necessary for successfully preserving specimens. He also includes tips on hunting and hygiene to ensure that collectors can acquire specimens in the best condition. The manual features additional sections on preserving eggs, making skeletons, and offers various practical recipes. Throughout, Manton encourages perseverance and practice, assuring readers that successful taxidermy requires not only skill but also a genuine appreciation for the beauty of nature.
