 the whole work, in 3 vols. 1 Compare 1811-21, Graves, G.

Not seen as published at these dates. See 1841, same author. For text, see 1825, 1825-33, 

 and 1833. 



There is great dilficulty in an-iving at the dates of this work. I have handled a complete 

 set of the plates, but that one is dated 1841, being thus a reissue ; it is furnished with a new 

 title-page, worded difierently from any of the earlier titles. I have not been able to see the 

 work in the parts in which it appeared, nor even as first issued on its completion ia 1834. 

 Acc6rding to information accessible to me (including Lizars' own advt. .sheets, pub. wiln Nat. 

 Libr., Vol. I, 1833), these folios were published in 19 parts, at intervals of about six months, 

 from 1821 to 1834, both inclusive. This gives the date of each, approximately. They form 

 two series: I. Laud Bird.s, in 8 parts; II. "Water Birds, in 11 parts; designed to form two 

 vols. On their completion, in 1834, the series were bound in two vols., with a title said to 

 run as follows : 



"The Figures of British Birds, containing an exact and faitliful representation, in their 

 full natural size, of all the Imown species found in Great Britain," etc. 



The two series together are said to consist of 228 plates, of 383 figures ; but they are num- 

 bered in such a slovenly manner, with so numerous interpolations, including some lettered 

 instead of numerated, that the number can only be ascertained by actual count. (Seethe 

 enumeration which I give under date of the reissue, 1841.)

Not seen : is there any such cd. ? Given by Engeliuann, Bill., i, p. 202 : most likely a mis- 

 take — perhaps a typographical error for 1802, q. v. Of. Newton, 1877.
