 30 or more days.

 be obviated.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 21, 1895. 



Mr. F. H. Lattin, 



Albion, N. Y. 



Dear Sir: — 



We ask your kind attention to an important book on 

 Ornithology, probably the most important book for American collec- 

 tors, "Audubon's Birds of America." The original folio edition com- 

 plete, comprising four hundred and thirty-five plates magnificently 

 colored from life, and each bird, life-size. Also the five volumes of 

 descriptive text accompanying these plates. 



We have just secured and are offering for sale an unique copy of 

 this grand work. Unique in the following respects — that it is an ab- 

 solutely uncut set throughout, just as issued from the author's own 

 hands, plate by plate, the set having been carefully wrapped up just 

 as issued and each plate is as fresh and clean as when issued by the 

 author. Only one other set that we have been able to see or hear of, 

 is claimed to be as uncut as this, and in this set the plates have been 

 bound in full morocco, which must have somewhat damaged the part 

 of each plate that is caught in the sewing of the binding. More in- 

 teresting is the present set, as it is one of the two or three sets which 

 the author finished with especial care by his own hands for presen- 

 tation to his patrons and those who helped him in the publication of 

 this work. There is only one other set now known to exist with the 

 Turkey plate in the same state as the present, that in the Earl Spen- 

 cer collection. In these two copies the Turkey plate has been height- 

 ened in gold, and extra colored as also are a few other plates extra 

 finised in color. 



The volume of the text of the present set bear autograph presen- 

 tation inscription to David Eckley from Audubon. 



Our price for this set is extremely low for so fine and perfect a 

 copy, being $2,500.00. A much inferior copy, which was bound, and 

 which was not a presentation set was recently sold in New York, for, 

 we understand, $3,000.00. 



If this set is of interest to you we shall be glad to hear from you at 

 your early convenience. 



Respectfully, 

 THE BURROWS BROTHERS COMPANY. 



[As the above letter is of no small amount of interest and thinking that some 

 reader of the OOLOOIS1 might be glad for an opportunity to purchase this extreme- 

 ly rare and valuable set of "Audubon's" we print the letter in its entirety. — Ed. 

 OoLOGIST,
