New Edition, the Plates beauti- fully coloured (pub. at 11. 8>.), cloth gilt, 16s. 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 husk, Mudie the kernel. We most heartily concur with the opinion expressed of this work by Leigh Hunt (a kindred spirit) in the first few numbers of his right pleasant 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 Mudie’s ‘living pen,’ as it has been called. We are not ac- quainted with any author who so felicitously unites beauty of style with strength and nerve of expression ; he does not specify, but paints.”—Wood’i Ornithological Guide.
