This is perhaps the most universally attractive of all Mr. Gould's publications. He 

 himself thus speaks of it : "Having from an early period devoted myself to the study of these 

 beautiful birds, and acquired a most valuable and extensive collection of a group peculiar to 

 America and its adjacent islands, I determined upon publishing a Monograph o{ a family unequalled 

 for the gorgeous and ever-changing brilliancy of their hues, the variety of their form, the singularity 

 of their habits, and the extent of their territorial disti ibution.'^ 



" As winged gems of unsurpassed glory do Humming-Birds claim our admiration. On them 

 the great Creator has bestowed the gift of rare and wondrous beauty, clothing them in colours that 

 can only be rivalled by Emeralds and Rubies, Topazes and Sapphires." — Fraser''s Magazine. 



"Altogether we consider this publication to be Mr. Gould's magnum opus ; and we strongly 

 recommend all who can afford the cost to possess themselves of the Work." — C. R. W. (in Eraser's 

 Mamzine.)

"No work of greater beauty will be produced than that on which John Gould, returning in 

 his later life to his hrst love, bestowed the fulness of his energy and the acme of his artistic talent. 

 We alhule to his 'Birds of Great Britain.' The care bestowed on the plates of this Work was 

 remarkable, the aim of the Author being to ]iroduce a jncture of the Birds as they appeared in their 

 Natural Haunts, and especial pains were bestowed on the Young, particularly those of the ^Vading- 

 Birds and Natatores. In this fine Work most of the drawings were developed and placed on stone 

 by Mr. W. Hart, who also executed all the plates of the later Works." — Nature, i88i. 



"Let it not be supposed that we deny credit to others — to writers on certain departments of 

 Ornithology who have admirably illustrated their subject. But from all these Mr. Gould's grand 

 Works stand out in bold relief— THEY ARE 'THEMSELVES ALONE.'"'— Z'/wt-j-.
