Navis (1494)5 has drawn a lion-dog (Plate 8, No. i) ; while grey- 

 hounds are reprefented by Ant. Sorg, in MJofis Fables (Augfburg, 

 1475) > an< ^ Fuft and Schceffer, in the illuminated JIJ of the famous 

 Pfalter of 1457 (Plate 8, Nos. 2 and 3). The drawings of Plate 9 

 are taken from the firft edition of the Ship of Fools, and mow bull- 

 terriers and two dogs licking the fores of the poor pilgrim at the 

 door of the rich man. 



In Plates 10 and n are the varieties of dogs feen, or more likely 

 imagined, by the artift who illuftrated the curious book of Fables com- 

 piled by Sebaftian Brandt, and printed at Bafle by Jacobus de Phortzheim 

 in 1501. Has Mich. Wohlgemuth, the matter of Albert Diirer, drawn

 Scotch terriers (Plate 18), a boar-hound, and, perhaps, a Newfoundland, 

 in his engraving of the Knight followed by Death (Plate 19). 



John van Eyck's terrier (Plate 16) is drawn from the picture in 

 the National Gallery, London. In the book of the Toifon d'Or, by

 call a King Charles (Plate 20, No. i) ; while No. 2 are, perhaps, boar-
