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

 fully coloured (pub. at II. St.), cloth gilt, 16*. 1835 

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

 hitherto appeared, from the days of WUlougfcby 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 witii strength and nerve 

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