ILLUSTRATIONS OF AMERICAN ORNI- 



THOLOGY, including Representations of the Principal Insects, 

 Forest Trees, and Fruits of America, Drawn, Etched, and Coloured, 

 under the superintendence of Captain Thomas Brown, F.L.S. 

 M.W.S. President of the Royal Physical Society. 



This will form one of the most elegant works hitherto published 

 in this country, and is unprecedented for its cheapness, not exceeding, 

 even including the Letterpress, one-sixth part of the original cost. 

 The illustrations will comprise, not only the whole of the Birds given 

 by Alexander Wilson and Charles Lucian Buonaparte, in many 

 instances larger, and in none less, than in the original works, but will 

 also contain various newly discovered species, including numerous 

 representations of Insects, Fruits, and the whole Forest Trees of 

 America. 



" Highly as we thought of the first number of this splendid work, 

 we are sensible of a considerable improvement in the numbers under 

 our notice. They contain a much larger proportion of the forest trees, 

 which, in our opinion, adds gi-eatly to the beauty of the plates ; and 

 the foliage and fruit are quite suflBcient for every botanical purpose. 

 Of the birds, the jays, the swallows, the bullfinches, and the parrots, 

 are the most finely shaped, and the most brilliaiitly and variously 

 coXoMTeA."— Literary Gazette. 2Uh March, 1832.
