of the hospitable, warm-hearted, South Caroli 
nians; so happy were those days, that Dr. Back 
man was want to sigh, and say: “ Ah, old man,

and we find him once again in London, where 
he, with his eldest son, assorted the drawings, 
made during two years absence, into numbers;. 
and, making his final arrangements as to what 
birds were still wanted from the works of pre- 
vious authors, he returned to Edinburgh, his 
favourite resort in Great Britain, where he pub- 
lished the third volume of the Ornithological.
