The Life of John James Audubon, the Naturalist (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Life of John James Audubon, the Naturalist Of the work Audubon has done, nothing need be said in praise here. Even were I competent to discuss his merits as an ornithologist and ornithological painter, I should be si lent, for the world has already settled those merits in full. I may trust myself,however, to say one word in praise of Au dubon as a descriptive writer. Some of his reminiscences of adventure, some of which are published in this book, seem to me to be quite as good, in vividness of presentment and care ful coloring, as anything I have ever read.
