^'' One vol. Demy 8vo. With 200 Illustrations, 1/. 8s. 42 THE book-collector's hand-book. '' BelVs Reptiles ;'"^ and BelVs Crustacea:'''' In re- spect to the New World, Wilson's American Orni- thology, '^ with the Prince of Musignano's (Charles Lucien Bonaparte) continuation, and edited by Sir William Jardine, is absolutely indispensable. It con- tains many valuable notes, a life of the author, and ninety ■- seven plates, exhibiting three hundred and sixty-three figures of birds, well engraved,... and beau- tifully coloured, on glazed drawing-paper. Altogether this edition is far preferable to that originally pub- lished in America, both from the superiority of the engravings, and the many valuable notes that have been added. As a companion to it, we have Lewin's Natu- ral History of the Birds of New South Wales:"^ of which Swainson, himself no mean authority, speaks in the highest terms of eulogium ; amongst other things he says, " admirable figures, full of truth and nature, accompanied by valuable observations on the habits and economy of birds.
