The original drawings for the work were made from nature by Theodore Jasper, A. M., M. D., an artist of 

 superior capabilities, who has made ornithology a Ifie-study. Revised by John Graham Bell, Esq., Audubon's 

 companion in the field, and a well-known ornithologist and taxidermist. The systematic table, arranged ac- 

 cording to the classification adopted by the American Ornithologist's L'nion, was prepared by Frank M. Chap- 

 man, Esq., Assistant Ornithologist at The American Museum of Natural History, New York, includes all the 

 additions to and corrections of our North American species which have been made to date, with an index to 

 page, plate and figure of each species, according to the A. O. U. number. 



There is no more attractive studv than ornitholgy, the department of zoology which treats of structure, 

 Tiabits, and classification of birds. The graceful forms, movements and habits of the feathered tribes have been 

 ■celebrated in all ages by poets and artists, and have furnished tlie Instrnctors of mankind with lessons of wis- 

 •don. But this admiration is not confined to the poet, the artist or the sage: It is universal. Wherever human 

 beings are found, the forms, the plumage, the songs, the migratirns, the lovers and contests of birds awaken 

 curiosity and wonder. No similar work containing so many beautiful and faithful pictures of living birds, and 

 so much descriptive information, is now e.xtant, or has ever been published, in this or any other country. 



Do a little canvassing among your friends who are interested in birds. You can easily 

 secure forty subscribers to A. 0. at $ 1 ,00 each and get this elegant book free.
