BRITISH ORNITHOLOGY

Synopsis of Quadrupeds was first published at Chester in 
1771, and his History of Quadrupeds in 1781 ; the plates are 
copied from other works. The Genera of Birds was published 
in 8 vo in 1773, and a second edition in 4to in 1781, but this 
has not the merit of his other works, the genera being those 
of Willughby and Ray. The Indian Zoology , first published 
in full in 1790, is styled 2nd edition on the title-page. The 
first edition, however, only appeared in the form of a fragment 
of 12 coloured plates (11 being of birds) with 14 pages of 
descriptive text in English and Latin, small folio, issued in 
1769. The plates were afterwards given to Dr. Forster, who 
printed an edition in 1781 at Halle, but the first complete 
English edition (with 16 plates uncoloured) did not appear 
until 1790, in small 4to. The Arctic Zoology first appeared 
in 1784, with a Supplement in 1787, and a second edition 
was issued in 1792. It was originally intended to be confined 
to North America, but is circumpolar, including Northern 
Europe and Northern Asia. His other works include the 
Tour in Scotland in 1769 , 1 vol., and Tour in Scotland in 
1772 , 2 vols., Tour in Wales , 2 vols., 1778-83, Journey from 
Chester to London , 1782, and Account of London, 1790. Of 
his Outlines of the Globe, two volumes were published in his 
lifetime and two posthumously, but the work advanced no 
further. He died December 16, 1797, at the age of seventy- 
two. 1 2
