<body topmargin="10" leftmargin="10" BACKGROUND="images/paperback.jpg"> <CENTER><H2>Bewick's <I>Land Birds</I>, 1847 edition</H2> </CENTER><p><font size="7">T</font>he last edition of the <I>History of British Birds</I> published by Robert Bewick was that of 1847. This edition is often known as the "Hancock Edition" because of the substantial contribution to it made by John Hancock (1808-1890), most notably in the production of a detailed <I>Synopsis</I>. The arrangement and nomenclature were based on the work of Temminck. Hancock, who was familiar with Bewick's publications, and had indeed met Bewick towards the end of the engraver's life in the shop of R.R. Wingate, a taxidermist, stated that the printing of this edition was among the best ever done. This edition also included about 20 additional vignettes, by Bewick, intended for the <I>History of British Fishes</I> which had been commenced but never completed. </P><hr> <div
