 Tribes of the British Islands, 2 vols.8vo. second edition, the plates beau- 

 fully coloured, (published at 1Z 8*) extra cloth bds. elegantly gilt on the 

 backs, 16* . . 1835 



" This is, without any exception, the most truly charming work on Ornitho- 

 logy which has hitherto appeared, from the days of Willughby downwards. 

 Other authors describe, Mudie paints ; other authors give the husk, Mudie the 

 kernel. We most heartily concur with the opinion expressed of this work by 

 Leigh Hunt (a kindred spirit) in the first few numbers of his right pleasant 

 London Journal. The descriptions of Bewick, Pennant, Lewin, Montagu, and 

 even Wilson, will not for an instant stand comparison with the spirit-stirring 

 emanations of Mudie's 'living pen/ as it has well been called. We are not ac- 

 quainted with any author who so felicitously unites beauty of style with strength 

 and nerve of expression — he does not specify, he paints." 



Wood's Ornithological Guide, 



"The l Feathered Tribes' is indeed an exquisite work, and unquestion- 

 ably the best that has yet appeared on the habits of our native birds, in that it 

 is scarcely second to those of Wilson and Audubon. Mudie is the most accurate 

 observer of nature,— Selby excepted, and he treats not exclusively of habits — 

 consequently the ' Feathered Tribes' deserves a distinguished place on the shelves 

 of the philosophic ornithologist." — Ornithologist's Text Book.
