OF MY (EE RARY aati. 
Vor. II. and IV. The voyage along the coafts of Franee, 
from Calais to the frontiers of Spain, with a digreffion up the 
Loire as far as Orleans; and a fecond digreffion from the Garonne, 
near Zouloufe, above Bourdeaux, along the great canal de Lan- 
guedoc, to its yunétion with the Mediterranean fea near Sette; and 
a third from. Andaye, alone the French fide of the Pyrenees, as 
far as its termination on the fame fea. 
Vox. V. comprehends the coaft of Spaiz, from the Bidaffao to 
the borders of Portugal, the whole coaft of Portugal; after 
‘which thofe of Spain are refumed, and continued to the Streights 
of Gibraltar, and its celebrated rock. This volume is particu- 
larly rich in drawings (by Mo/es Griffith) of the birds and fifhes 
of Gibraltar, communicated to me by the rey. the late Mr. 
Yobn White, long refident in that fortrefs. 
Vot. VI. contains the entrance into the Mediterranean fea, 
and the fouthern coafts of Spain, to the borders of Italy at Nice, 
comprehending the coafts of fouthern France. 
Mr. Ignatius d’ Affo of Sarragoffa, author of the Zoologia Arago- 
nie, and Flora of the fame country, by his intelligent correfpond- 
‘ence, from the year 1783 to the year 1786, furnifhed me with 
feveral very inftructive materials for the natural hiftory of Spain, 
which were of confiderable fervice in my account of that king- 
dom. I cannot quit the fubjeét of the four laft volumes, with- 
out (I truft) a moft venial exultation at the fource from whence 
I drew a confiderable part of my account of the coafts of the 
kingdoms of France and Spain; and alfo of fome of the interior 
country. It would perhaps be affected: but it certainly would 
be unnatural to fupprefs acknowlegements which fpring warm- 
ed from my heart, becaufe I pay them to a fon. David Pennant
