Owen, Sir Richard (1804-1892), comparative anatomist and paleontologist
Three page A.L.S. to Messrs. Adam & Ch. Black, "I have duly received 12 copies of Paleontology from Mr Burn, but regret to perceive that the first quire (in the Art: Paleontology) referred to at p.4, has not been appended, as frontispiece; it is the ''Table of Strata'' & the largest of the cuts, which your Printer ought not to have overlooked. There will be time I trust for this omission to be repaired before your copies are offered to the trade", referring to another omission, Sheen Lodge, Richmond Park, Mortlake, March 1 1860
