JOHN ANTONY, a Russian traveller and naturalist of some celebrity, was born at Riga in 1745, died at St Petersburg in 1781. He took part in some of the scientific expeditions organized by the Russian government in the latter half of last century, and distinguished himself especially by his travels in the Caucasus. His memoirs on the natural history, languages, &c., of these countries, though they have been long superseded, were highly esteemed in their day, and even now possess a certain historical value. His name is associated with that of the celebrated Pallas, who after Guldenstaedt's death published an edition of part of his works.
