''The Uses of Animals in Relation to Industry of Man'' is a book written by Edwin Lankester and published in 1876. It is a collection of lectures that Lankester delivered at the South Kensington Museum, discussing the various ways in which animals are used in industry. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the use of animals for food, clothing, and transportation, as well as their role in agriculture and medicine. Lankester provides detailed descriptions of the various animals used in these industries, including their physical characteristics, behavior, and natural habitats. He also discusses the ethical considerations surrounding the use of animals in industry, and provides insights into the ways in which humans can work to minimize their impact on the natural world. Overall, ''The Uses of Animals in Relation to Industry of Man'' is a comprehensive and informative look at the complex relationship between humans and animals, and the ways in which we rely on them for our own survival and prosperity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
