From a Graad-danghter of tlie Great Andalra^: 



" It is a beautiful magazine, and we all enjoy it very much. It is delightful for those who, like our 

 selves, love the birds yet are notornitholbgists (though I suppose we ought' to be). After our immediate 

 family have read and admired it, I lend it to the village library, where it is eagerly sought for, and 1 hope 

 will interest our boys and youn^.men sufficiently to indiice them to protect rather than destroy the birds; 

 even those who do not care so much for natural history are attracted by the beautiful pictures. With every 

 wish for the success of so attractive a publication, I am very truly yours, M. R. Audubon."
