New Edition, the Plates beauti- fully coloured (pub. at 1/. 8«.), cloth gilt, 16«. 1835 “This is, without any exception, the most truly charming work on Ornithology which has hitherto appeared, from the days of Willoughby downwards. Other authors describe, • Mudie paints; other authors give the luisk, Mudie the kernel. We most heartily concur with the opinion ex])ressed of tliis work by Leigh Hunt (a kindred spirit) in the first few numbers of liis right j)leasant London Journal. The descriptions of Bewick, Pennant, Lewin, Montagu, and even Wilson, will not for an instant stand comparison with the spirit-stirring emanations of Mtidie’s ‘ living pen,’as it has been called. We are not ac- quainted with any author who so felicitously unites beauty of stvle with strength and nerve of expression; he does not specify, but paints.”—Ornilnoloyicai Guide.

Every figure, excepting in a very few instances of extremely large birds, is of the full natural size, beautifully and accurately drawn, w ith all the spirit of life.”—Omithnloyist^s Text Hook. “ What a treasure, during a rainy forenoon in the country, is such a gloriously illuminated work as this of Mr. Selby! It is,* without doubt, the most splendid rf the kind ever published in Britain, and w ill stand a comparison, without any eclipse of its lustre, with the most magni- ficent ornithological illustrations of the French school.
