SPIMYAATDERARY LIPS. 
fon given in the advertifement prefixed to that work, (altered, 
indeed, from its original plan) I thought myfelf under the ne- 
eeflity of changing the title. I did fo; and, after having confi- 
derably enlarged the work by the addition of the animals 
and hiftory of the northern parts of Europe and Afa, 
I this year gave it to the public, under the title, of the 
Aric Zoology. It confifls of two volumes, quarto; the firft 
contains a long introduction, and Clafs 1. QuapRupzps; the 
fecond, ClafsII. Brrps. In this work I received confiderable 
improvements from the voyage of Sir Jofeph Banks, to New- 
foundland, in 1767. "We added greatly to the ornithology by 
the communication of feveral new fpecies of birds, and feveral 
other fubjects. 
Tuts work was fpeedily tranflated into German by profefior 
Zimmerman, and publifhed in two volumes, quarto, with the 
prints, which I permitted to be taken from my plates. The 
introduction was alfo tranflated into French, under the title of 
Le Nord du Globe, in two volumes, octavo; and, what is pecu- 
liarly flattering to me is, that as much as relates to the north 
of Europe is to be tranflated into Swedi/b, as an introduction to 
the natural hiftory of that celebrated feat of the votaries of the 
great Cybele. 
Tue 4réic Zoology gave occafion to my being honored, in the 
year 1791, on April 15th, by being elected member of the 
Ameriwan Philofophical Society at Philadelphia, (in the prefident- 
thip of David Rittenbou/e, efq.) My labors, relative to that vaft 
continent, were there favorably received: but this honor I 
efteem as a reward above my merits. There, fcience of every 
kind begins to flourifh; among others, that of natural hiftory ;

1785.
