This is a biography of the English engraver and amateur ornithologist, Thomas Bewick, who set up a print shop in Newcastle where he worked for 50 years. His most famous work is the History of British Birds, which was published in two volumes from 1797 to 1804. The Bewick's swan and Bewick's wren are named for him.

A witty compilation, copiously and beautifully illustrated.

Henry Fielding (22 April 1707 – 8 October 1754) was an English novelist and dramatist known for his rich, earthy humour and satirical prowess, and as the author of the picaresque novel Tom Jones. Additionally, he holds a significant place in the history of law enforcement, having used his authority as a magistrate to found (with his half-brother John) what some have called London's first police force, the Bow Street Runners. His younger sister, Sarah, also became a successful writer.
