This is an editorial abridgment, or digest, oi* the original of 1814, g. v., faithfully and, on the whole, judi- 

 ciously executed. The natural-history chapter, besides being relegated to an appendix, is transposed as to its 

 botanical and zoological portions. It is furthermore abridged at the editor's discretion, the omissions being 

 indicated by asterisks. A new feature is foot-note references to the pages of tbo body of the work on which 

 the various species wert' before mentioned. This is a valuable set of crofts-reforences, for the narrative ac- 

 counts scattered through the work are often no less important than the formal notices themselves.]
