An account of the Kangaroo, recently observed in Australia.

Appears to be a period binding.The right question to ask about this book: Why was a second edition published in 1802 about events of 1790? The Treaty of Amiens in 1802 instituted peace in Europe prior to the ascendency of Napoleon Bonaparte. Readers in 1802 should have considered 1789-1802 to be an epoch worthy of review, with the editors of the Second Edition providing additional editorial content to assist readers in historical perspective.
