Description

Trying Leviathan: The Nineteenth Century New York Court Case That Put the Whale on Trial and Challenged the Order of Nature

In Moby-Dick Ishmael declares Be it known that waiving all argument I take the good old fashioned ground that a whale is a fish and call upon holy Jonah to back me. This book recovers the story of Maurice versus Judd an 1818 trial that pitted the new sciences of taxonomy against the biblically sanctioned-view that the whale was a fish.
