From the President of the Agassiz Association,

 since Audubon's, and is pronounced by some authori- 

 ties superior to that now rare and costly work."

" A wonderful work." — Good Citizen. 



" A Great Work." — National Teacher. 



" A magnificent Ornithological work." — Turf, 

 Field 6° Farm. 



" A magnificent work, equal to 'Audubon's Birds,' 

 giving all the birds of North America, with elaborate 

 plates in natural colors accompanied by descriptions." 

 — Education, Boston. 



" If artistic and beautifully colored plates, letter- 

 press of the highest order, and scientific knowledge 

 reduced to the plainest terms can make up a valuable 

 work, this certainly deserves that designation."— Am- 

 erican Sportsman. 



From Dr. Elliott Cones, President of the American 

 Ornithologists' Union, Author of "Birds of the 

 Northwest," "Colorado Valley," "Key to North 

 American Birds : " 



" I can heartily recommend the whole work as one 

 admirably meeting the design of a popular orni- 

 thology of North America at once instructive and 

 entertaining, at a reasonable price. The text is per- 

 fectly reliable. The technical nomenclature is cor- 

 rect, being that used by the best ornithologists of 

 the country." 



From Right Rev. Bishop A. Cleveland Cox, D.D., 

 LL.D.: 



" For a family of intelligent children, here is a book 

 which may furnish a never-failing fountain of interest 

 and entertainment. I count him a happy man who 

 can afford to lay it before his family and guests. How 

 pure, how ennobling such a study! It may prompt 

 youthful genius to further researches in these fields ; 

 and if it tempts a young girl to try her hand at draw- 

 ing or coloring such portraits of our feathered visitors 

 and co-citizens for purposes of domestic ornament, it 

 will be a happy result. I recommend this book to 



fmrchasers — a very rare sort of a commendation 

 rom me." 



From Prof. C. S. Maynard, Author of " The Birds 

 of Florida," and " Birds of Eastern N. A. :" 



" i am much pleased with ' Studer's Birds of North 

 America.' In the grouping of the birds, arrangement 

 of light and shade in the perspective, and delineations 

 of the forms and feathers, Dr. lasper has certainly 

 surpassed all other artists, producing the best pic- 

 tures of the species which I have ever seen."
