"American Ornithology has uniformly presented a highly interesting subject of investigation to Naturalists and liberally educated persons of all countries, even when the means of gratifying their curiosity were new and difficult of attainment. Wilson's invaluable work removed the obstacles to this attractive study, and conferred on him an imperishable renown. His ardent and perspicuous mind enabled him to exhibit the truths he discovered, in that warm, lucid, and captivating language, which never fails to reach the heart of his reader; while the faithfulness of his delineations shew most advantageously the accuracy of his pencil.-We may say, without hesitation, that such a work as he has published in a new country, is still a desideratum in any part of Europe." "The valuable Notes and interesting Life of Wilson added to this new edition are from the pen of Sir William Jardine, a Naturalist of congenial mind and feeling and talent. The plates are well executed, and the greatest possible attention has been paid to accuracy of colouring. Altogether we have rarely seen a more valuable work on Natural History, and not one more entertaining."-Lit. Gazette. "The most delightful collection of Ornithological Biographies with which we are acquainted." "This is by far the best edition of the American Ornithology, both on account of the beautiful plates and the most interesting notes of the editor. Every Ornithologist must, of course, possess the work, and he should if possible procure this edition."--Neville Wood. 5344 WILSON'S (James) Illustrations of ZOOLOGY, being Representations of New, Rare, or Remarkable Subjects of the Animal Kingdom, drawn and coloured after Nature, with historical and descriptive details, folio, comprising 36 beautiful plates, (pub. at £7. 7s) green morocco, gilt edges, £4.
