HORNED NARVAL, 
OR, SEA Unicorn, 
The beautiful fi gure annexed, exa6Lly re- 
presents a fish lately taken, on the Frieston 
Shores, near Boston, in Lincolnshire : where, on 
the 15th of February 1800, it was discovered 
by a Fisherman ; who, alarmed at the sight, im- 
mediately procured two horses to drag it from 
the mud in which it had been left by the tide, 
though still alive. It was not, however, till six 
horses had been obtained, that it could be 
drawn from it's situation ; when it was found 
to measure twenty-four feet and a half in 
length, including the horn, which is seven feet 
six inches, and to be eight feet in circumfe- 
rence. It's weight was two tons ; and forty 
gallons of oil were extradled from beneath the 
skin. Our drawing was made at the Meck- 
ienburgh CofFee-Flouse, Charing Cross ; v4iere 
the stuffed fish was for some time exhibited. 
The skin has, in polish, as well as in it's 
markings, an appearance of marble, and the 
horn resembles ivory,
