 the six volumes of the first part in large octavo, 

 comprising altogether three thousand nine hundred 

 and nine pages. The first part, which contains the 

 Animal reign, is completed in the six volumes.

 1792. The first part, of eight hundred and eighty- 

 four pages in octavo, comprises, with new genera

No nation can produce so complete a repertory 

 of Natural History as the above. With infinite 

 labour, exertion, and judgment, all the recent dis- 

 coveries and observations in all the branches of 

 Natural Science, have been united in it. 



In the Animal reign, the works of Schreber, 

 Pennant, Fabricius, Goetz, Schroeter, Muller, Cron- 

 stedt, Von Veltheim, Bergmann, Kirwan, Bloch, 

 Herbst, Stoll, Voigt, Fuessli, Sestini, Buffon, Adan- 

 son, Camper, and the Travels of Pallas, Sonnerat, 

 Leske, Lepechin, Guldenstsedt, Peyrouse, Rasu- 

 mowsky, and of an infinite number of other learned 

 men, have been consulted. 



Had Linnaeus even enjoyed a longer life, no such 

 enlargement and perfection of his code of nature 

 could have been expected from him in the North. * 



* Linnasus himself wrote to Professor Gieseke, on the 

 20th of December, 1774, as follows: " Naturae Scientia in 

 dies augetur tot novis inventis, ut vix ea comprehendere 

 valeam.
