ADDRESS. 



Mr. Bullock respectfully begs leave to solicit the atten- 

 tion and patronage of the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, 

 to an Establishment for the advancefnent of the Science of 

 Ncdural History, which in magnitude and expense, he pre- 

 sumes, is unparalelled, as the work of an individual. 



The very flattering and general approbation which ho- 

 noured the Exhibition of his Museum on its first opening in 

 a temporary situation in London, was a convincing proof 

 that his future efforts tor the extension and improvement of 

 the Collection would be duly appreciated. His exertions to 

 obtain articles of rarity and interest have, therefore, been 

 unceasing. In most departments, the subjects have been 

 doubled in number ; the specimens are choice, in the high- 

 est possible preservation, and are arranged according to the 

 Linnaean system. They consist of about Fifteen Thousand 

 species of Quadrupeds, Birds, Reptiles, Fishes, Insects, 

 Shells, Corals, &c. &c. collected during twenty years of 

 unwearied application, and at an expense exceeding thirty 

 thousand pounds.
