Excerpt from Ornithology of the United States of North America, or Descriptions of the Birds Inhabiting the States and Territories of the Union, Vol. 1: With an Accurate Figure of Each, Drawn and Coloured From NatureIN the commencement of a task like the present, it is of course necessary that the object and design of the publication should be stated, and the reasons given for obtruding upon public notice another work on the Ornithology of the United States in addition to the several highly creditable ones which already adorn the literature of our country.Alexander wilson was the great pioneer in this branch of American science, and who that appreciates his chaste and eloquent style, his accurate and happy delineation of a class of the most lovely objects in nature, can fail to experience the greatest delight in reviewing the pages of the American Orni thology. Next among the labourers in this field, followed the amiable and enthusiastic audubon, a man of whom America may well be proud, and who has given to the world a work of magnificence which will forever remain a monument of his surpassing genius, perseverance and research. Next in order was that eminent naturalist, thomas nuttall, and to him are we indebted fur a Manual of American Ornithology, highly valuable as a text book, which, like all that has proceeded from his pen, exhibits in an uncommon degree the qualities of patient investigation and sound judgment, with great beauty and eloquence of description.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
