AUDUBON, AND HIS JOURNALS 
By MARIA R. AUDUBON. With Notes by ELLIOTT COUES. 
Contents . — Audubon: a Biography. — The European Journals, 1826-29. — The Labrador Journal, 
1833. — The Missouri River Journal, 1843. — The Episodes. With a full Index. 
Times. — “ Auduborfs unpublished manuscripts are the record of a long, a varied, and an adventurous life, 
passed in unremitting activity and indefatigable industry. We must say at once that for the most part they are 
fascinating. They are sensational, instructive, and frankly autobiographical, and they show a many-sided man in 
his various aspects, with the absolute unreserve of innocent egoism.'’ 
Literature. — “ He is unquestionably an interesting figure; and the journals, in so far as they illustrate the 
finer qualities of the man — his enthusiasm, his patience, his devotion to the higher, and contempt for the lower, 
forms of success— were well worth giving to the world.” 
Saturday Review. — “ There is much that will interest readers of vastly different tastes. Thus the European 
journals in the first volume have an interest that is chiefly personal, and we get interesting scraps of conversation 
with Sir Walter Scott, Jeffrey, Wilson, Lord Stanley, Cuvier, St. Hilaire, Selby, Constant, Gerard, Jardine, and 
Bewick, as well as many other notables in the ‘Science, art, and literature of Edinburgh, London, and Paris in the 
late twenties.” 
Daily News. — “These two fascinating volumes form a fitting monument to the memory of one of America’s 
most gifted men of science. It is, indeed, a most lovable and beautiful character which is revealed to us in these 
pages.” 
Spectator. — “The two volumes present the life of the great French- American naturalist in a most attractive 
form. The journal of his voyage up the Missouri is now first given to the world, and the freshness of his life in 
the woods and of his own charming personality is not marred by any unwise editing or comment. The illustrations 
are excellent, worthy of a work dealing with the life of the man who used the instruction received from the 
revolutionary painter David in his youth to make the greatest advance in the illustration of nature ever achieved 
by one man.” 
Scotsman. — “A worthy and enduring memorial has been raised to the great American ornithologist in the 
two volumes prepared by his granddaughter. Miss Audubon’s work has been admirably done ; and the worth of 
the book is much enhanced by the zoological and other notes which Dr. Coues has appended.”

HBUtb ColourcO illustrations of tbcir lEijgs. 
To which is added the Author’s Notes on their Classification and Geographical Distribution. 
By HENRY SEEBOHM, Author of “ Siberia in Europe,” &c., &c. 
Zoologist. — “ The text contains not only a description of each egg and its varirties. but also a very full 
account of the life-history of each bird. ... If we may conceive the works of Yarrell and Hewitson rolled into 
one, with corrections, emendations, and important additions, and with woodcuts as well as coloured plates, such a 
work is Mr. Seebohm’s.” 
Nature. — “ We unhesitatingly express our opinion that since the time of Macgillivray no such original book 
as Mr. Seebohm’s has been published on British ornithology ; we think that the figures of the eggs are by far the 
best that have yet been given.”

THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE CHARADRIID/E; 
Or, The Plovers, Sandpipers, Snipes, and their Allies. 
By HENRY SEEBOHM, Author of “Siberia in Europe,” “Siberia in Asia,” “ A History 
of British Birds, with Coloured Illustrations of their Eggs,” &c. 
Nature. — “ This is a handsome volume of more than 500 pages, and is illustrated by twenty-one coloured 
plates, drawn in Mr. Keuleman’s best style. The book is profusely illustrated by woodcuts, showing the specific 
characters of the different species, and tnese will be invaluable to the student of these difficult birds. In fact, no 
work has ever been so remarkably treated in this respect, and it will be the book of reference for the Charadriidtr , 
for many years to come."
