Book excerpt: Excerpt from A General Collection of the Best and Most Interesting Voyages and Travels, Vol. 3: In All Parts of the World; Many of Which Are Now First Translated Into English; Digested on a New Plan The geese are plucked five times in the year; the first plucking is at lady-day, for feathers and quills, and the same is renewed, for feathers only, four times more between that and Michaelmas. The old geese submit quietly to the Operation, but the young ones are very noisy and unruly. I once saw this performed, and observed that goslings of six weeks old were not spared; for their tails were plucked, as I was told, to habi tuate them early to what they were to come to. If the season proves cold numbers of geese die by this barbarous custom. Vast numbers are driven annually to London, to supply the markets; among them, all the superannuated geese and ganders (called here Cagmags) which serve to fatigue the jaws of the good citizens, who are so unfortunate as to meet with them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A General Collection of the Best and Most Interesting Voyages and Travels, Vol. 3: In All Parts of the World; Many of Which Are Now First Translated Into English; Digested on a New Plan Dear Sir, A Gentleman well known to the political world in the beginning of the present century made the tour of Europe, and before he reached Abbeville discovered, that in order to see a country to best advantage it was infinitely preferable to travel by day than by night. I cannot help making this applicable to myself, who, after publishing three volumes of the Zoology of Great Britain, found out, that to be able to speak with more precision of the subjects I treated of, it was far more prudent to visit the whole than part of my country: struck therefore with the reflection of having never seen Scotland, I instantly ordered my baggage to be got ready, and in a reasonable time found myself on the banks of the Tweed. As soon as I communicated to you my resolution, with your accustomed friendship you wished to hear from me: I could give but a partial performance of my promise, the attention of a traveller being so much taken up as to leave very little room for epistolary duties: and I flatter myself you will find this tardy execution of my engagement more satisfactory than the hasty accounts I could send you on my road. But this is far from being the sole motive of this address. I have irresistible inducements of public and of a private nature: to you I owe a most free enjoyment of the little territories Providence had bestowed on me; for by a liberal and equal cession of fields, and meads and woods, you connected all the divided parts, and gave a full scope to all my improvements.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A General Collection of the Best and Most Interesting Voyages and Travels in All Parts of the World, Vol. 5: Many of Which Are Now First Translated Into English; Digested on a New Plan The zeal with which I have always been animated to contribute, as much as might be in my power, to the improvement of the Public Imperial Mufeum of Natural Hif tory in the Univerfity of Pavia, by enriching it with the new and important produc tions I procured in the various journeys and voyages I undertook both in Italy and Other countries, incited me to travel, during the fummer and autumn vacations, into the Two Sicilies.
