In language full of beauty and tenderness, it presents us with sketches of bird-life. Beautiful as many 
parts of the text are, the chief charm of the book lies in the illustrations which adorn its pages. They 
were drawn and engraved expressly for this work, and, from their admirable fidelity to nature, their com- 
bined grace, and strength, and delicacy, constitute the claim of the present volume to public favour.
