1797-1804. Bewick, T.—eoulimud. 



Vol. I, Land Birds, 1797, of the editio princeps, originally .appeared in two issues. Vol. U, 

 "Water Birds, 1804, appeared in one issue of a number of copies equal to the number of copies 

 of both issues of Vol. I. The text of Vol. I is by Beilby ; that of Vol. II by Bewick. The 

 two vols, are thus really two separate works; but as they both together make up the editio 

 princeps, 1 have combined tho titles of the two in one, hypothetically ; not knowing, how 

 ever, that the title of Vol. II may not be worded more differently from that of Vol. I than as 

 indicated above. The bracketed st.itement of price, in the title, no doubt varies in diiferent 

 copies. Also, was not Vol. 11 printed by E. Walker? Vol. I is said to contain 115 flguree; 

 Vol. n, 113; making 228 in all. About 50 of the figures are said to have been drawn from 

 subjects in the "Wycliffe Museum. 



It appears that there have been eight reg-ular editions of "Bewick" (exclusive of three edi- 

 tions of the cuts alone). They are as follows: 



1797-180-1. Editio princeps, ut supra. 



1805. Second Edition. Newcastle. E. "Walker. 2 vols. 8vo. 

 1809. Third Edition. Newcastle. E. "Walker. ? 



1806. Fourth Edition. Newcastle. E. Walker. 2 vols. 8vo. 



1821. Fifth Edition. Newcastle. E. Walker. 2 vols. 8vo. (With Supplement, Part I,

1826. Sixth Edition. Newcastle. E. Walker. 2 vols. 8vo. 



1832. Seventh Edition. Newcastle. C. H. Cook. 2 vols. 8vo. 



1847. Eighth Edition. Newcastle. J. Blackwell & Co. 2 vols. 8vo. (With Synopsis, by 

 J. Hancock.) 



"Supplements", one to each vol., were introduced with the 5th ed., 1821. Each successive 

 edition, or each to the 6th, has accessions ; thus, the Cth, 1826, contains 300 (157 Land, 143 

 Water) figuies of British Birds, besides 14 of exotic Land Birds. 



The separate issues of figures only are three in number, viz : 



1800. First issue. Cuts of Land Birds only, without text. 8vo. (How many copies?) 



1817. Second issue. Cuts of Land and Water Bh'ds, without text. 4to. (25 copies.)

 Bibliography, under their respective dates, which see, for further particulars.

A review of Maton's book, 1797. The anonymous writer slashes the author with great 

 severity, and in a tone of pique and ill-humor savoring of personal antipathy. Mr. Maton's 

 remonstrance met with no mercy in 'answers to correspondents' in the June number of tha 

 Review.
