The subscriber would announce that lie has discovered a perfect 

 copy (2 vols.) of the long lost "Second American Edition" of Outline's 

 Geography, published in 1815. As is \vvll known, this edition is of 

 peculiar interest, as being the only one containing the part on American 

 Zoology by the celebrated naturlist, George Ord. In it, Mr. Ord im- 

 posed, for the first time, binomial scientific names on several species of 

 American Mammals and Birds, in some instances giving detailed de- 

 scriptions of the same, quoted from the History of the Lewis and Clark 

 Expedition. 



The only copy of Orel's Zoology known to Bibliographers was an 

 author's separate, probably presented by Mr. Ord, in the Library of 

 the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. This copy disap- 

 peared several years ago in a very mysterious manner. 



The value of the present copy is greatly enhanced by the fact that 

 is not only intact within the second volume of Outline's Geography, 

 but that it is Mr. Ord's private annonated copy and was presented at 

 his death to the Philadelphia College of Physicians. 



A Reprint of the part on Z >ologv is now being prepared for publi- 

 cation and will probably be ready for distribution in February, 1894. 

 It will include the entire part banning, (Vol. II, p. 290.) at the word 

 ''Zoology," and e:iiiag, (p. 331,) at > ira*raph entitled "Natural Curios- 

 ities." This will be preceded by a frontipiece plate of Mr. Ord, with 

 fac-smile signature and a brief introduction. An Appendix, treating 

 briefly questions relating to nomenclature, history, etc., which remains' 

 unsettled owing to the disappearance of the work, or have arisen in the 

 renaissance of American Mammalogy, will be added. As nearly as 

 possible the reprint will be an exact reproduction of the size, paging, 

 paragraphing, typography and mistakes of the original. The marginal 

 annotations, in lead-pencil, made beyond reasonable doubt by Mr. Ord 

 himself, will be fully commented upon. It is almost useless to add that 

 no one with scientific, bibliographic or popular interest in American 

 Literature can afford to be without this reprint of a strangely extinct 

 work, the first systematic Zjology of America byan American.
