died April 16, 1788. He was one of the most voluminous 

 writers on Natural History that the age produced: and al- 

 though the fauhs imputed to him in the above-mentioned page 

 are undoubtedly well founded, yet, perhaps, justice is scarcely 

 done to his splendid talents, and his no less splendid publica- 

 tions in this science. Thougii he too much neglected phi- 

 losopliical arrangement ; though he adopted and endeavoured 

 to propagate a number of gross errors; and though he dis- 

 covered particular opposition to Revealed Religion; still it 

 cannot be denied that he made many rich additions to the 

 science of Natural History, and will always be entitled to a 

 place among its most zealous, acute, and successful culti* 

 vators.

 investigations in Zoology, which he cultivated with great dili-
