HISTORY OF QUADRUPEDS. 483 



We have now given the mod diftinguifhed varieties of 

 this curious fpecies. It would be fruitlefs, if not impof- 

 fible, to point out all the peculiarities to be found in the 

 various tribes which abound in every country in the 

 world, and differ from each other more in their habits 

 and difpofitions than in their exterior form and appear- 

 ance, which in all of them feem to be equally deformed 

 and difgufting. — But we mould r>ot from hence conclude, 

 that imperfection and deformity are always in uniform 

 analogy with the notions we have preconceived of what 

 is fair and beautiful. — Amidft the infinite productions of 

 creative power, variety of form, difference of faculties, 

 and degrees of utility, are eminently obfervable ; com- 

 pofing one general plan, in which wifdom, order, and 

 fitnefs, are difplayed through all its parts.
