My entry of this work was loft very defective. Prof. Newton supplies the above full title 

 of the orig. ed., and corrections as follows: — 

 176G. Editio princeps, ut supr^. 

 1768. Second edition. 8vo. 

 1770. Third edition. 8vo. "A thin volurae, supplementary to the preceding, must rank 



as the 3d edition." 

 1776-77. "Fourth" edition. 4 vols., in two issues, 8vo and 4to. "Plates identical, hut 



letter-press wholly distinct." 

 1812. Fifth edition. 4 vols. 8vo. (First ed. with author's name on the title.) "This 

 posthumous ed. is said by E. T. Bennett in his ed. of White's ' Selboine ' (p. 113, 

 note) to have been edited by Hanmer, a statement coiToborated in a letter to me 

 from J. E. Cri-ay, who added that he gave Bennett the information — but Hanmer 

 is spoken of (p. xxvii) as being merely one of the editor's friends who assi.sted 

 him— the others being Latham, Hawkins [who seems to have furnished notes on 

 birds of Greece], Henry Jenner (nephew of the great man) and Hugh Davies — the 

 additions of the latest being mainly or wholly on Invertebrates. On the other 

 hand, the anonymous author (probably Neville Wood) of a memoir of Latham 

 (Kat. iv. p. 31), speaking of Latham's revision of this work, which he seems to 

 regard as the ' second edition ' of Pennant, says it ' was published by his son, Mr. 

 D. Pennant.' " 

 Above enumeration of eds. is exclusive of Murr's Latin-German version, 1771-70.
