ABBE LAZZERO Sp I l LA^Z'ANIv
PROFESSOR OF N ATURAL HISTORY IN THE UNIVERSITY
OF PAVIA, FELLOW OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY
OF LONDON, &c. &c.
Concerning the Ijlands of L i s sa , Pe la g o sa , L e s ina , and Br a z za
z« the D a lm a t i c S ea , and the IJldndof A rbe in the
Q uarnaro.
T,HOUGH I am very fenfible that things begun, and left
off before they are half finiihed, are in general not worthy
to be prefented to the Publick, nor to a learned man in particular;
and being fully convinced, that my obfervations in Dalmatia,
and the numerous iilands in the adjacent lea, are defective
and uniatisfadtory, becaufe I was prevented, by unfeafona-
ble combinations, from making them more complete, yet I venture
to addrefs a part o f them to you; my learned and worthy
friend, without any apprehenfion o f your ce-nfuring me for temerity,
or defpiiing my gift, fuch as it is. Experience, I prefume,
has fhewed you, how many unforefeen, difficulties and’
delays a naturalift, who travels among the mountains, often-
meets with, even when efcorted by the authority o f government;
and hence you are better able, than the fedentary literati, to calculate
how much time I muft unavoidably have loft, through-
changes o f air,, inconftancy o f weather,, and the ignorance, ordiffidence
