A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF 
[BARRINGTON 
friends — The Naturalist's Journal , an oblong 4to note-book 
with printed headings, which Gilbert White used for the 
compilation of the latter part of his Naturalist's Journal , 
and which he refers to as the “ Gift of the Honourable Mr. 
Barrington the Inventer.” He also appears to have pub- 
lished, in 1775, one number in 4to of a Naturalist's Journal 
(cf. Scudder’s Cat. of Scientific Serials , p. 23, Harvard Univ., 
1879), but this we have not examined. There is no copy in 
the British Museum. 
In his later years he lived in chambers in King’s Bench 
Walk, spending much of his time in the Temple Gardens 
(vide C. Lamb’s Essays of Elia, “ Old Benchers of the Inner 
Temple”). 1 He died on March 14, 1800, and was interred 
in the Temple Church.
