Thomas Pennant (1726-98) was a keen geologist, naturalist and antiquary. His two-volume History of Quadrupeds (1793), beautifully illustrated with over 100 engravings, aimed to promote natural history among a wider readership. Charles Darwin owned a copy and had it sent to him in South America during the Beagle voyage.
