DRUPEDS, 
OF MY LITERARY LIFE. 
perfonal acts of friendfhip I received from that moft amiable 
man, was an irrefiftible incitement to me to erect this fmall, 
but very inadequate, monument of gratitude. 
AFTER feveral journies over the fix counties of North Wales, 
in which I colleéted ample materials for their hiftory, I flung 
them in the form of a tour, and publifhed the firft volume in 
quarto, with xxvi plates, in 1778. 
In 1781 the firft part of the fecond volume of the fame 
tour appeared, under the title of, 4 Journey to Snowdon, with xi 
plates, a frontifpiece, and 2 vignets. The fecond part foon fol- 
lowed, with xv plates, and a large appendix, which completed the

our country I own myfelf much indebted; for without his af- 
fiftance, many things might have efcaped me, and many errors 
crept into my labors.

added a litttle preface, and a few explanatory pages. Befides 
thefe proofs of his ingenuity, he etched feveral other ‘(private 
plates) fuch as, about a dozen North American birds, two beauti- 
ful parts of Fountains-abby, and a few other things. 
In this-year I alfo publifhed a new edition of my Synop/is of 
Quadrupeds, in two volumes, quarto, with li plates, including’ 
the xxxi from the Synopfis, which received confiderable im- 
provements and corrections from the correfpondence of my 
friend the illuftrious Pallas, who beftowed a long feries of let~ 
ters on this alone; this he performed, as it was a favorite 
work of his, and by accident transferred from his, to my infe- 
rior pen:
