This little treatise on British migrants is, we are told, but a fragment of nearly 200 chapters 

 on Natural History which the author had prepared, when he put it out as a feeler ; designing 

 to commit the rest of "the labour of Thirteen Tears" "ad ticum et piparem" if it should not 

 be well received. I may add that I have seen none of the rest.
