[1] _The Mirror_, it will be remembered, was the first work of
its class that presented this economical attraction to the
public: the Engravings throughout the Series number upwards
of Eight Hundred.

[2] In the Museum at Newcastle, are many of the identical
specimens from which Bewick drew his figures for the
wood-cuts of his zoological works.


[3] See a paper on "the Life, Genius, and Personal Habits of
Bewick," in the _Magazine of Natural History_, vol. iii.; by
his friend, John F. Dovaston, Esq., A.M., of Westonfelton,
near Shrewsbury. There is a vein of generous enthusiasm--a
glow of friendship--a halo of the finest feelings of our
nature--throughout and around this memoir, which has the
sincerity and singleness of heart of--A FRIEND.

[4] In Mr. Dovaston's paper is a misprint, which it may be as
well to notice here. It is stated that Bewick cut the Old
Exchange, at Newcastle, (the vignette of the above volume) in
1719.
