R. PENNANT, In his History of Qltadrupeds, Prefiice, p. S, 

 Ipeaks as follows : 



" From the matchlefs coUeftion of animalsj coUedled by that public-fpirited 

 gentleman. Sir Afhton Lever, I had every opportunity, not only of correding 

 the Defcriptions of the laft edition, but of adding fcveral animals hitherto 

 imperfeclly known. His Mufeum is a liberal fund of inexhauftible knowledge 

 in mcfl branches of natural hiftory, which, I truft, will remain an honour to 

 his fpirit, as well as a permanent credit and advantage to our country." 



Mr. LATHAM, in his General Synopsis of Birds, in a note ex- 

 planatory of his abbreviated mark, viz. Lev. Miif. fays, " By tliis is meant 

 the Mufeum of Sir Afhton Lever; well known to abound in the various pro- 

 du(5lions of nature and art, and in which the inquifitive mind cannot fail of 

 receiving the utmoft fatisfaftion in every department." 



By an attentive furvey of the above two works, viz. Mr. Pevnant's Hif- 

 tory of Quadrupeds, and Mr. Latham's Synopfis of Birds, the extent and 

 importance of the Leverian Colleftion will appear in the fulleft manner, and 

 ■will afford the moft convincing proof of its unrivalled fuperiority in the zoo- 

 logical department.
