The Birds of America from Original Drawings by John James Audubon; 435 large colored plates printed, engraved, and colored by Havell. 4 vols, elephant folio, half Russia. London, published for the Author, 1827-30. One of the most sumptuous ornithological works ever pub- lished; the coloring of the plumage and the exact drawing of the birds can scarcely be surpassed. The birds are represented in action amid the scenes, or on the plants and trees most common to their habits, presenting a variety of land and marine views of different climates and seasons. Its great dimensions have per- mitted Eagles, Turkeys, and other Birds of the largest size to THE FREDERIC GALLATIN, JR. be represented in their natural size and even in groups. All is combined, says Brunet, to ally in the most happy manner the exactness of individual details with a living and animated re- presentation of general form. The plates were published with- out any text to avoid the necessity of furnishing copies to the public Libraries of England, agreeably to the laws of Copyright. Owing to the destruction by fire of the stock and copper-plates, the work has become exceedingly rare. AUDUBON, JOHN J.

The other painting represents Morton's Finch, dated by the artist June 8th, 1844, and with his pencilled note "never before figured." Both draw- ings are remarkable for the delicacy of their coloring and execution. Inlaid is an extremely fine and rare Autograph Letter on one folio page from the famous Naturalist to President Samuel Houston of Texas in- troducing one of his Assistants to him and informing General Houston of his having "undertaken in con- junction with my Friend the Reverend John Bachman of Charleston, South Carolina, to publish a work in- corporating all the Quadrupeds we can procure, along with their Figures or Representations, and again with their Histories," with other interesting particulars.
