Excerpt: . . . was thirteen feet from the nose to its anus; and very little less than seven feet when he stood, measuring from the sole of his fore-foot to the top of the shoulder. The sirst horn was fourteen inches. The second a some something less than thirteen inches. The flat part of the horn, where it was bare at its base, and divested of hair, . was four inches, and the top two inches and a half broad. In the middle it was an inch and quarter thick; it was shaped like a knife; the back two inches, and, when turned, , measured one fourth of an inch at the edge. It seems now to be a point agreed upon by travellers and; naturalists, that the famous animal, having one horn only upon his forehead, is the fanciful creation of poets and painters; to them I should willingly leave it, but a Swedish naturalist, Dr Sparman, who has lately published two volumes in quarto, in which he has distinguished himself by his low illiberal abuse of learned foreigners, as much as by the fulsome slattery, he has bestowed on his own countrymen, has shewed an inclination to revive this antiquated fable. I do nor, for my own part, believe the authority will be thought susficient, or have many followers. . The publisher, by way of apology, as I suppose, for his rusticity and ill-manners, says, that he was employed in labour to earn a susficient sum upon which to travel. What labour he applied to is not said; it was not a lucrative occupation surely, or the Doctor was not an able labourer, as the sum produced was but 38 dollars, and I really think his knowledge acquired seem to be pretty much in proportion to his funds. . Kolbe mentions what would seem a variety of the rhino--ceros at the Cape. He says it has one horn upon its nose, . and another upon his forehead. This the Count. . .
