revered Parent having devolved on me, I now prefent
the Public with two volumes o f the continuation o f the
“ O u t l i n e s o f t h e G l o b e , ” which comprehend a view of
the interefting countries of China, Japan, New Holland,
and the Archipelago of the Indian Ocean.
As an editor, my chief care has been to tranfcribe with
accuracy from the original manufcript. The finiihing touch
o f the mailer may be wanting; but the hand, alas ! which
gave the glowing tint is now cold, and who ihall
dare to ufurp the pencil! Some trifling additions, dif-

to the catalogue of Birds of China, and of New Holland.
