HE greatest part of the following Effays have already appeared before the public in Mr. Edwards' Natural Hiftory, but in a detached and unconnected form, and at an expence perhaps rather too great for many who delight in Natural History.

It was therefore to accommodate fuch, and to affift the curious in their refearches, or any future writer upon this fubject, that the editor has been induced to this publication: and to make it still more generally useful, there is added a catalogue, in generical order, in English and French, of the names of all the birds, beafts, fishes, infects, plants, &c. &c. contained
