Print from "A History of the Earth, and Animated Nature" is a work of natural history by Oliver Goldsmith. First published in 1774 in eight volumes, it attempted to bring together a history of the earth with a description of its geographical features and many of its species. Many further editions of the work were published in the late 18th century and throughout the 19th century. These were often abridged versions of the original, in three, four or six volumes.
