DR. SHAW's NATURALeHISTORY,
PLAIg AND COLOURED.
On Saturday the 9th of January inst. was published, with
Four Plates,
Price Is. 6d. or coloured 2..40: •
-(To be comprised in Sixty-three Weekly Numbers,)
Makiteg•four „large' Volumes Medium Svo. printed on a very •
fine Papec; with between two and three hundred Plates
front the first Authorities, or the most select Specimens-1n
the B ir 'sit, LEV ER IA N, and ether MusEut.4s, princi-
pally engraved by Mr. 1-lEpr n, of a New Edition of
E HISTORY of
QUADRUPEDS. By
GEORGE SHAW, M. D. F.R.S. F.L.S. &c.
It is necessary to observe, that in this publication particular
attention basbeen paid to the lately discovered animals from
New Holland, which from • their highly singular conforma-
tion., form so interesting a part of Natural Histrtry.-
The Linn-man arrangement, with some occasional variations,
is in general pursued, as On the whole.themost eligible. --With
respect to figures, those highly important accompaniments
a work-of This kind, no care has been ,spared to give sue
convey the dearest and most accurate ideas of the ani
themselves.- Where ButiOn's figures were judged unexe,
tionable they have been admitted ; others are introduced fro •
publications of the first respedability, from original draw.
ings, or from those rich repositories of Science, the British
and Leverian Museums.
The- talents of the Engraver (Mr. Heath,) to whose care they
haVe been committed, are too well known to require particular
commendation.
The BR LT ISH CRITIC for November, 1800, speaks of the"
first Edition of this Work in the following terms.
" We'do not know that any work on General Zoology has
" hitherto been produced in any language; and we are happy
" to see the example set in our own country, in a style of
" elegance as well as accuracy, that does honour at once to
" Art and. Science. The descriptions here given are surri-
" ciently extended to convey the clearest ideas; and the
" Plates, which are executed by Heath and other able Artists,
" have been corrected by tile Author with the mo-st minute
" attention."
The CRITICAL-REVIEW for January, iSoi, in reviewing
the first Edition of the two first Volumes of this work, says,.
" That Dr. Shaw's situation in the British Museum has been
"- peculiarly advantageous to such a work; that the abilities
" of Dr. Shaw have been too long known, and too irequently
" tried; to be doubted; -and that, on a careful examination
" of these two Volumes, their expedations have been more
" than gratified. The descriptions are accurately discrimi-
" Dated ; the accounts of animals coniprehensive and satis-
" fadory ; 'nor does their recollcdions furnish a -single eir4
" cuinstanee- lately -.discovered, respeCting the subjeds of
" these volumes,k. not noticed and preperly, explaned ;
" another, 'and no 'slight 'adVentagO of his System, is the
" clear precision and comprehensive brevity o,ikthe lan-
" guage."
Again, the CRITICAL Rev ip.w for July, ISor, speaking
of the two last volumes, says, " We need only add, in the
" conclusion of this article, that Dr. ShaW has fully answer..
" ed the expectations raised, by his former Volumes, and that
the Plates are executed with' equal spirit, accuracy, and
" clearness. Should the remaining Volumes be completed
• • with the same diligence and ability' of which we have little
doubt, we know no other work on this subject, in an, •
" language, that can be fairly brought in comparison' with
" the Systematic Natural History of Dr. Shaw."

THE Restorative ANIMA of QUASSIA, in
the form of.. Pills, lately. invented and prepared by
HAL LA NI and Co. which is found an immediate and in.
comparable Remedy ,for
Weak, relaxed, and.debili, Hypochondtiac Affeetionse
toted Constitutions, Habitual Purgings,
Loss of Appetite, Nervous Weaknesses,
Pains and WeakneSs of the The deleterious E Weds of hot
Stomach,- Climates or Intemperance :
In short, in most casts where the constitution has been re-
duced
and debilitated by disease or intemperance, its rcatora.
five &Peas are equally astonishing and unprecedented.
The antiseptic powers of Quassia are too well known to
require further comment s and the restorative effeas of its-
" CONCENTRATED EXTRACT" certainly entitle that
Preparation to the -highest estimation and confidence of the
Nervous and Debilitated;' and to such it is at. this season
particularly recommended, not only as a-Restorative, but a
safe Preventative of Contagion from infeaious and epidemic
Diseases, -so generally prevalent.
The remarkable Case of-Colonel Oliver, produced by exces-
sive heat and fatigue at the Siege of Seringap.atam (of which
we shall give the Colonel's own account), is here brought
forward, as it must do away every doubt of its efficacy,
and display the restorative .poWers of the. Medicine..

.19, 'Soh
In the late Campaign in India (which terminated so fortu-
nately for, the British Empire;, I was exposed, -during e
march through the Mysore, to excessive fatigue and a burn-
ing sun, that enervated my whole-system, which increased
-rapidly in -the course of the Siege Seringapatame during
which, from the dampness of the entrenchments, I was at-
tacked .with a violent dysenteryeand by, further exertion in
the carrying by assault this important place, was so tar re-
duced as to be rendered incapable of further service. the
whole system had received a shock that threatened immediate
dissolution, no partbf it seemed. longer Capable of perform-
ing its proper function; the stomach and bowels were unable
to retain the. small quantity of food taken, Which passed oft
immediately.; the nervous system and muscular fibres wece
equally Wetted with 'constant tremor and debility, to such,a
degree as to render even walking extremely difficult. This
atrealen, with the constant irritation in the stomach and
bowels, produced -continual pain anti fatigue. ; During my
passage to England, I had every assistance without the
smallest advantage. On'my arrival I procured medical aid
from every quarter that was thought likelylo afpard -relief,
and for several months attended. regularly to the medicine
and regimen .prescribed by My Physicians, without receiving
the least benefit. .In -00ober last I called on you, to inquire
if Hallam and -Co 's • Extraa, or Anima of Quassia, was
likely to be.of service in my hopeless situation. -I tebk it
from your recommendation, and have the happiness of feel-
ing myself perfeetly rc.'store.l and that by taking a few boxes
only. . A fe,.v doses procilcc.:d. en ease and regularity in the
stomach and bowels, that had not been experienced since the
first attack of the disorder. lii short, the whole trail; of dis-
treasing:symptotns were soon effeiau;llY relieve I, and,' hava
now the happiness to enjoy a state-of- health I had little rea-
son to expett.. -
