Original text on this topic:
[1] The Preface
[The initial Y of the text of the preface is illustrated with the figure of a single-horned rhinoceros facing right, with a long prehensile upper lip. It is based on the figures of James Parsons.]

[91, note]
The ingenious Dr. Parsons ... has given us a most accurate Figure, as well as a very curious dissertation, upon this animal. The initial letter of the Preface is copied from this drawing.
