the British Ornithologist. Had the plates of birds 

 and eggs been good, and the letterpress combining 

 scientific and popular detail, the publication would 

 have been invaluable. 



Selection of British Birds frequenting Worces- 

 tershire, by Mrs. C. L. E. Perrott. Dedicated to 

 her Royal Highness the Landgravine of Hesse 

 Hombourg. Elephant folio. Parti, 1835. coloured, 

 ^1. Is. ; uncoloured, 14s. 



We are compelled to state that this work is even 

 not so good as Meyer's Illustrations, reviewed 

 above. The plates — of which there are to be five 

 in each number — are from drawings by Mrs. Per- 

 rott, engraved by Robert Havell ; the descriptions 

 — which are good, but too much copied — will also 

 occupy five pages. A number is to appear every 

 two months, and the work will be completed in two 

 volumes. Part I contains figures of the Hamburgh 

 Fowl, Ring Pigeon, Raven Crow, Whin Chat, and 

 Rlue Tit; none of these are good, but that of the 

 Raven is the best. We neither subscribe to this 

 work, nor intend to do so. We are indebted to the 

 kindness of a friend for being enabled to review 

 Part I of Mrs. Perrott's Selection of British Birds.
