IS NATURAL HISTORY, 
concur \vi(h the opinion expressed of this work by Leigh I 
Hunt {;> kindred spiiit) in the first few numbers of Iii4 
rielit pleasant London Journal. The descriptions of 
Bewick, Penniint, Lewin, MontaKU, and even Wilson, 
will not for an instant stand comparison with the spirit- 
stirring enianaiioiis of Mudie's 'living pen," as it lias 
been called. We are not acquainted with any author 
who so felicitously unites beauty of style with strength 
and nerveof expression— he does not specify, he paints."

" The ' Feathered Tribes' is indeed an exquisite 
WORK, and unquestionably the best that has yet ap- 
peared on the habits of our native birds, in that it is 
scarcely second to those of Wilson and Audubon. Mudie 
is the most accurate observer of nature,— Selby ex- 
cepted, and he treats not exclusively of habits— conse- 
quently the ' Feathered Tribes' deserves a distinguished 
place on the shelves of the philosophic ornithologist."

would make A PEttPucT picture ov itself, so beau- 
tifully and correctly are they executed: they have 
CERTAINLY NEVER BEEN EQUALLED EVEN BY GoULD 
AND AuDOBON." — Ornithologist' I Text Book. 
The author has been most successful, especially in 
the larger birds, and it would be impossible to improve 
on any of the Raplores, which for fidelity, boldness, 
and spirit, are unequalled — every feather is distinct, 
yet beautifully blended."
