[Collation: portrait, pp. iv, 328, with engraved plate of mnsic, 

 views of Walton's hou.se and of Amwell Hill, and cuts of fish, elc, 

 in te.xt. Mr. Rennie was a naturalist, and his notes, all hearing 

 his initials, chiefly deal with Walton's natural history, which the 

 neglect of i)revious editors made highlv neces.sarv. ' He has not 

 corrected " the errors of the original'' without stumbling, however. 

 When W^ilton (p. 193) speaks of the King-fisher's nest as a curious 

 structure " not to be made by the art of man," Rennie pertiv adds, 

 " Walton here mistakes for a Kingfi.sher's nest, the round crustaceous 

 shell of the sea urchin " !]
