CORRESPONDENCE. 



Dear Sir's, — I have received the first part 

 { of the Young Naturalist series of Illustrated 

 Handbooks of British Natural History," being 

 i Part I ot '• British Birds, their Nests and 

 Eggs ;" I am exceedingly pleased with it, and 

 trust it will obtain a large circulation. To 

 I students of Ornithology, it will be especially 

 ! valuable, while to the ordinary reader it will 

 prove an interesting volume; for who is there 

 that does not take pleasure in learning about 

 the nature and habits of the birds he sees 

 around him, even though he has not oppor- 

 tunity or inclination to devote much time to 

 their study ? The letterpress seems to give 

 in plain simple language all that it is necessary 

 I to know of each species, but the special 

 attraction of the book is in the illustrations, 

 these are carefully drawn and lithographed, 

 and the hand-coloring is admirably done, so 

 that each picture, in the Superior Edition at 

 least, is quite a work of art, while in the 

 Cheap Edition the figures are carefully colored, 

 and for all practical purposes are equal to 

 the others, being only inferior from an artistic 

 point of view. I cannot wish better for the 

 work than that it may meet with the success 

 it deserves. — Yours truly, Henry T. Robson. 

 Stockton-on-Tees, December 6th, 1880.
