Date
1812-1816. It suggested that the volume dates between the arrival of the stuffed giraffe at the Trinity College Dublin Museum in late 1812, and October 1814 when Digby was admitted into Trintiy College Cambridge: see Rachel Hand "A number of highly interesting objects: the Cook-Voyage collections of Trinity College Dublin" in Jeremy Coote ed., "Cook-Voyage Collections of 'Artificial Curiousities' in Britian and Ireland 1771-2015" (MEG Occasional Papers no.5), Museum Ethnographers Group, Oxford, 2015, p.180. However the Dictionary of National Biography suggests he moved to Cambridge in 1816.
