A volume containing a descriptive account of 'Fishes, Shell Fish & Insects', with an index, written apparently at Helion Bumpsted [sic], [Essex] in 1804-5. The first section (pp. 1-28) is headed ' The Natural History of Fishes', where in some cases the Welsh equivalents are given of the names of the species described. At the end of the volume, following p. 68, are notes 'from Mortimer's Treatise on Husbandry' [i.e. J. Mortimer, The Whole Art of Husbandry]. [According to information received from Mr F. C. Newton, County Archivist, Essex Record Office, Chelmsford in letters dated 7 and 17 August 1970 the author of this manuscript was the Reverend Henry Rogers, curate of Helions Bumpstead at the time (see Venn Alumni Cantabrigienses, Part II, 1752-1900, Vol. V, p. 344).].
