The above, which appears to be the first English edition, con- 
tains very little ornithological matter. It includes Birds of 
Lincolnshire, p. 531 and p. 543, and Soland Geese, p. 13 (Scotland). 
Note . — The account of the Dotterell, p. 543, is copied from 
Caius. 
There were several subsequent editions of the above, the best 
known being that edited by Bichard Gough, 4 vols. folio, London, 
1806, which contains a fair amount of ornithological matter, none 
of which appears to be original, and some of which is curiously 
distorted : thus in plagiarizing Martin’s Description of the 
Western Islands the Great Auk becomes the Great Gore ! \i.e. 
Gare = Gare-fowl]. 
Campbell (James), ca. 1773 
The author of the undernoted scarce work well styles 
himself “ one of the original, or rather eccentric, authors.” 
Of the 264 pages of his book, 118 are devoted to a discur-

from this Introduction, the work treats of British hawking : 
the Peregrine Falcon, Merlin, Hobby, Gyr-falcon, Goshawk, 
Sparrow-hawk, etc., being dealt with at length. Campbell 
was falconer to the Earl of Eglinton. Cf. Harting, Biblio- 
theca Accipitraria, p. 34.

This author — assistant lightkeeper at the Bell Rock 
Lighthouse— states that “ these desultory notes were origin- 
ally undertaken at the instigation of an invalid friend 
desirous of a closer acquaintance with our lonely environ- 
ments. At the termination of a nine years’ residence on
