BROWN BEAR, GRISLY BEAR, ETC. 199 
illustrated at the expense of His Majesty’s 
Government, by the spirited designs and 
etchings of Mr. Thomas Landseer ;* and the 
volume here quoted by the author, was writ- 
ten by Mr. Kendall, from the notes and con- 
versation of Mr. Henry, during a tour of 
the former in Upper and Lower Canada, 
and the United States of North America. 
But Dr. Richardson may appear to have 
fallen into error, in referring the above 
anecdote of Mr. Henry’s Bear to the his- 
tory of the Black Bear of America. Among 
the free-traders, three species of Bear are 
commonly spoken of; namely, the Brown 
Bear, the Grisly Bear, the Black Bear, 
which latter is small, and sometimes ap- 
proaches the gardens and houses of the set- 
tlers, where, however, it threatens the safety 
of nothing, unless that of the bacon or the 
meal-tub ; while the Brown Bear is more to 
be feared, and the Grisly Bear most of all. 
The ‘* Little Black Bear,” and, by the way, 
this is a common name for a man among the 
Indians, belongs to the more northern coun- 
* Fauna Borealia Americana, &c. By John Rich- 
ardson, M.D. 4to. London. 1829.
