370 APPENDIX. 



I like London exceedingly well, I hardly dare go 

 out into the streets for their is so much entertain- 

 ment at the shop windows &c. that I never can get 

 Home in time to my work. 



YouT excuse my hurry at present. 



My Comps' to Bella and except the same yourself 



from 



Your loving Brother 



JNO. BEWICK. 



JOHN BEWICK TO THOMAS BEWICK. 



LONDON, 4th Jany. 1789. 

 DR. BROTHER, 



I reed, yours by favour of Mattw. 

 Williamson, with the Plates for Sr. H. Liddle's 

 work which pleased me much indeed, I im- 

 mediately shew'd them to Mr. Pollard who was 

 not a little Puzzled to think where you had got 

 hold of all the different methods of Engraving, 

 he desires his Comp s & will with thanks except 

 of a set of them the first convenent oppertunity 

 you finde. the only fault that has been found 

 with them is want of proper relief, which is look'd 

 upon here as the first & grand art, to produce a 

 good effect. the first sheet of your natural History 

 I think beautiful indeed & wish much to see it 

 finish' d I do not think you can better the Paper 

 t'is printed on, if your language & description be 

 equal to the cuts & Paper I think t'will be a most 



beautiful work. Dr. Trusler very kindly thank's 



you for your subscription to his Habit e world,* I 

 have designed some few of the Plates but being 



[* " The Habitable World Described." John Bewick designed 

 cuts for vol. ii. (1788), and some later volumes.]
