70S APPENDIX. 



A nightingale, again, when kept in a cage, does 

 not live often more than a year or two ; nor does 

 he fing more than three or four months •, whereas 

 the fcholar pitched upon may not only be more 

 vivacious, but will continue in fong nine months 

 out of the twelve. 



I fear, however, that I have already dwelt too 

 much upon thefe very minute and trifling advan- 

 tages which may refult from my experiments and 

 obfervations ; I mail therefore no longer defer fub- 

 fcribing myfelf, 



Dear Sir, 



Your mod faithful, 



Humble Servant, 



Daines Barrington,
