Subjects for so many whole-sheet Tables or sets of Tables, exhibiting each
of them the contents or elements of some branch of science
at a view. 1. Botany: exhibiting the characters of the
classes: the principal distinctions in the configuration of
the leaves – with sections of stems and buds to shew the manner of
growth &c. with as much Letter-press as can be got in for
explanation. 2. 3. 4. Quadrapeds – Birds, and Fishes
each occupying a sheet. The known species of
each of those tribes might in each instance be very

a man or some other domestic or other well-known animal of known size being
introduced into ad placed by the side of each figure
for the purpose of expressing the relative size: the name
at least should be added to each. The varieties of produced by culture among the
several useful animals might occupy a sheet apart,
in which a short indication of their several distinctions and respective advantages
might be contained. 5. Insects The Birds, the their respective species of food
they eat respectively might be expressed by the colour of the ground:
vegetable, green: animal, red: vegetable and animal indiscriminately,
