WILSON, THIE ORNITHOLOGIST. 127 
If my native country receive with gracious indulgence the specimens 
which I now humbly offer it, if it express a desire that J should bring 
it some more, my highest ambition will be satisfied. For, as my 
little friend said, our woods are full of them; I can gather numerous 
others which are still more beantiful.”—- (Philadelphia. 1808.)
