And such are the humble pretensions of the present lecture, which will merely attempt to place before you a brief sketch of zoology, in iegard to its bare such a sketch is the whole that our time, Will allow; yet if it be found faithful, it'will assuredly be found beneficial: for'if the outlines be correctly laid down, the picture may be filled up at our; leisure.
