Thefe are the mod material particu- 

 lars which have occurred to my obfer- 

 vation, during my refidence in Guiana. 

 Happy fhall I think myfelf if they af- 

 ford you either inflrudtion or entertain- 

 ment. My Obfervations and Enquiries 

 might, indeed, have been much more 

 extenfive, had I not been influenced by 

 the indolent examples with which % 

 was every where furrounded. 



In taking a retrofpedt of Animated 

 Nature, I cannot but admire the Wif- 

 dom and Goodnefs of that Power, who 

 has fo exquifitely adapted the Organs 

 and Difpofitions of all animal Beings to 

 that life in which each is capable of 

 enjoying the greateft portion of happi- 

 nefs, and who has caufed each to be 

 adtuated with principles the leaft ex- 

 pofed to infringe the Order and Har- 

 mony of our material Syftem. Vora-
