BRITISH SONG BIRDS; being popular Descriptions and Anecdotes of 

 the Choristers of the Grove. By Nevili-e Wood, Esq. Author of the Ornitholo' 

 gisfs Teat Book, Vc. 



" The latest, the fullest, and, all things considered, the best of the various publications 

 on Ornithology : for the writer combines scientific arrangement, accuracy of knowledge, 

 and discrimination, with the lively anecdotical style." — Spectator. 



" A work that no practical naturalist would like to be without." — Loudon's Mag. Nat. 

 Hist. 



*' To Mr. Neville Wood Ornithology is much indebted ; his various publications attest 

 his capability and knowledge ; and his recently-published works will always insure him a 

 high standing amongst the votaries of ornithological science." — Analyst. 



" Contains pretty descriptions and interesting anecdotes." — Sir W. Jardine's Magazine 

 of Zoology and Botany, 



*' A delightful volume, full of living portraits, evidently traced by the hand of a man of 

 genius and an enthusiast — an original and indefatigable observer. Deeply do we marvel 

 how an individual so little advanced in years as Mr. Neville Wood really is, could have 

 produced a work of which any naturalist, however aged or experienced, might well be 

 proud ; and which all who aspire to the character of a British Ornithologist, must possess; 

 and, once possessing, will frequently peruse." — Naturalist. 



" Contains much that must be interesting to every one." — Literary Gazette.

p O, GENTLE ZEPHYR ; a Duet for two Sopranos, dedicated (at her re- 

 ^^ quest) to Madame Malibran de Beriot. Price 3s.

 Samuel Rogers, Esq. Second Edition, price 2s. 6d. 



THE ROSE ; a Canzonett, the poetry by Cowper. Second Edition, price 2s. 6d. 



•' That there are amateurs in England who understand the true purposes for which mu- 

 sic was ordained, is apparent from the two duets at the head of the present article. In 

 each there is a true poet-like conception of the subject. The poetry suggests to the mind 

 a beautiful evening in summer, and, true to its purpose, the music seems absolutely redo- 

 lent of the perfume of the flowers after a sultry day in July." — Analyst. 



•' In the duet before us the composer has chosen those delicious pastoral lines of Rogers", 

 " Dear is my Little Native Vale," &c., lines which almost wreath themselves into music. 

 Mr. Wood's strains are worthy the poetry ; he describes it with the zest of a poet. The 

 change from common time to the 6-8 is delightfuL" — New Harmonicon. 



" The Rose" is rather a ballad than a canzonett. It is very pleasing, sorrowful, and 

 tentimental." — New Hai-monicon.
