Dr. Godman was born at Annapolis, Md., Dec. 20, 1794, and died Apr. 17, 1830. His prin- 

 cipal work, "American Natural History, " is devoted to llaranials, as is well known. The 

 original edition, in 3 vols. 8vo., was published, vols. i. ii, 1826, Philadelphia, H. C. Carey and 

 I. Lea, and vol. iii, 1828, Pliiladeljjhia, Carey, Lea, and Carey. Tliis was reis.nued in 1831, Pliila- 

 delphia, Stoddart and Atherton, without alteration, doubtless from the original ])lates. In 

 1836 appeared the third edition, as here eited, in two vols.: snbstanti.illy the same as the ori- 

 ginal, as to main text, but with biograpliieal sketch prefixed to vol. i, and *tbe '■Eaml)les" 

 affixed to vol. ii. This third edition was reissued in I860, Philadelphia, Uriah Hunt and Son. 

 apparently without alteration, tlioui;h wiUi new titU'-iia<j.e. I have handled all four of these 

 issues. 



The ' ' Rambles " are an incomplete series of sketches, composed by the author on his death- 

 bed, and appeared first in a weekly journal published in Philadelphia; but I have never l)een 

 able to see the oiiginal articles. They were first added to this 1836 edition of the •■ Natural 

 History,'' and reappear in the 1860 reissue. Nos. x-xii of the 'Rambles," pp. 325-337 of both 

 the 1836 and the 1860 editions, are devoted to the natural hi.story of Corvus americanus ; and 

 these .sketches are, upon the whole, the best account we possess of tlie habits and traits of 

 the bird.
