NORTHERN ZOOLOGY. (BIRDS.) 
BY JOHN RICHARDSON, M.D. F.R.S. &c. AND 
W. SWAINSON, ESQ. F.R.S. &c. 
Through the goodness of the distinguished authors, 
we have been favoured with a sight of the proof sheets 
of the descriptive part of this important work, at present 
in the press. Its scientific details and views are learned 
and accurate ; the natural history of the species inte- 
resting, and the popular illustrations amusing and 
instructive. The extracts which we shall make may 
bring forcibly to the recollection of many of our readers 
the admirable sketches in the Journey to the Polar Sea.
