Scope and content
A proof copy of Thomas Pennant, Outlines of the Globe, Vol. III. The View of India Extra Gangem, China, and Japan (London, 1800), edited by David Pennant and containing many additions, corrections and annotations by him, none apparently incorporated in the published work. These range from the purely textual to those providing additional information gleaned from other sources. Notes and other material relating to the text found loose inside have been tipped in between the relevant pages or at the end of the volume. Included is a letter, 1785, to Thomas Pennant from the botanist William Hudson.
