rj H E HISTORY of QUADRUVEDS. 'Ry
i• GEORGE SHAlid, M. D. F.R.S. &c. •
It is necessary tobbserve, that in this publication particular
attention has been paid tb the lately discovered animals front
New Holland, which from their highly singular conforma.
Lion, form so interesting a part of Natural History.
The Linn:tan arrangement, with some occasional variations,
is in general pursued, anon the whole themost eligible. With
respect to figures, those highly important accompaniments to
a work of this kind, no care has been spared to give such as
convey the clearest_ and -twist accurate ideas of the animals
themselves. Where Buffon's figures were judged unexcep-
tionable they- have been adthitted ; others are introduced front
publications of the first respeetability, from original draw-
ings, or from those rich repositories of Science, the British
and Leverian Museums.
The talentsof the Engraver (Mr. Heatllo to whose care they
have been cornmittedeare too well known to require particular
chminendition.
'The BR'ITISII CRITIC for November, tBOO, speaks of the.
first 'Edition of this Work in the following terms.
" We do not -know that any work on general Zoology has
" hit hei-to been produced in any language ; and we are happy
" to see the example set in our .own country, in a styleof
eleg.ancei as welti as accuracy,, that does honour at once to
"- Art and Science. The descriptions here given are Stifil-
" ciently extended to convey the clearest ideas ; ;and the
" P lates, which are executed by Heath and other able Artists,
" have been correded by the:Author with the most minute
" attention."
The CRITI,CAI. R-Evirw for January, ant, in reviewing
the first Edition of the two first Volumed of this work, says,
That Dr. Shaw'S•sithation io the British Museum has been
peculiarly advanfageous to such-a work; that the abilities
'' of Dr. Shaw have been too. lout, known, and too frequently
". tried, to be dhibted; ae.i that, on a-careinl examination
of these two. Volumes; their expectations have been mate
." than gratified, :The descriptions are accurately disci:Tau-
, " nated ; the accounts of antutals comprehensive and satin-
" factory; nor does their recolleetions furnish a single cir-
" cumstance lately diseoeereti, respelling the sobje.Cls of
" these volumes, not noticed and properly explained;; while
another, and nia.slight advantage of his- System, is the
" clear precision and comprehensive breyity of the lan-
,.t_gtiage. ' ,
•
Again,. the CRITICAL. REVIEW foe .1131 v, 'Sot, speaking
of• the tWo last volumes, says, " We peel wily add* in the
".` conclusion this article, that Dr. Shaw hasfully'answer-
" ed the eXpettations raised by his thrmer,Volornes, and that,
" the Plates are executed with equal: spirit, accuracy, and
" clearness. • Should the . remairmig. Volumes 'be, cOmpleted
" with the•same diligence and ability, at which we have little
" doubt, we• know no other work on this subject, in a• y
language, that can be 'fairly brought in comparison whit
s:'-•the System atic griturid History of Dr. Shaw. ."
