THE PLEASURES OF ORNITHOLOGY, (2s. 6d.) 



"Once more, Go seek YE in their various nests 

 Much pleasure and much wisdom. Who shall cope 

 With Birds in architecture ? Not nice skill 

 Of man's most practis'd hand ; not all the lore 

 Of sages.'' — Page 37.

 and proves that the author has the love of nature deeply im- 

 planted in his breast." — JVest of England Magazine.

 and important ends ;' has, in this production, been happily at- 

 tained." — Leamington Spa Courier.
