 TRIBES OF THE BRITISH ISLANDS. 2 vols. 8vo. New Edition, the Plates beauti-

 "This is, without any exception, the most truly charming work on Ornithology which has. 

 hitherto appeared, from the days of Willoughby downwards. Other authors describe, ; 

 ! Mudie paints; other authors give' the husk, Mudie the kernel. We most heartily concur 

 with the opinion expressed of this work by Leigh Hunt (a kindred spirit) in the first few 

 numbers of his right pleasant London Journal. The descriptions of Bewick, Pennant, 

 Lewin, Montagu, and even Wilson, will not for an instant stand comparison with the 

 spirit-stirring emanations of Mudie's 'living pen,' as it has been called. We are not ac- 

 quainted with any author who so felicitously unites beauty of style with strength and nerve 

 of expression ; he does not specify, but paints." Wood'* Omitkological Guide.

 that Audubon's is for the birds of America. Every figure, excepting in a very few instances of, 

 extremely large birds, is of the full natural size, beautifully and accurately drawn, with all the 

 spirit of life." Ornithologist's Text Book. 



" What a treasure, during a rainy forenoon in the country, is such a gloriously illuminated 

 work as this of Mr. Selby ! It is, without doubt, the most splendid of the kind ever published 

 in Britain, and will stand a comparison, without any eclipse of its lustre, with the most magni- 

 ficent ornithological illustrations of the French school. Mr. Selby has long and deservedly 

 ranked high as a scientific naturalist." Blackwood's Magazine. ,
