An English naturalist; born at Westminster, 1784; died at Yarmouth, September 1856. He is author of "The History of British Fishes" (2 vols., 1836), and "The History of British Birds" (2 vols., 1843); both written in an elegant and popular style, and illustrated artistically, yet without impairing the scientific accuracy of the exposition.
