| Summary: | Trying to identify sources for prints of horses for his "regenerated m.s. of the Introduction [to the Arctic zoology]": asks from which book the annotated print of a male onager he received from Pallas was from; two other prints taken from "Neue Nordische Beyträge" [presumably a journal], believes one of them also from Gmelin's "Voyages" in Sir Joseph Banks' library, asks for an artist to copy it. Asks if Lord Macartney brought anything relative to zoology [presumably George Macartney, Earl Macartney (1737-1806) diplomatist and colonial governor in India]. |
