Upon the merits of Mr. GOULD's Works it is unnecessary to enlarge, for it has long been acknowledged by Naturalists that they stand at the very head of their class, whether as regards the accuracy of their Drawings, or the beauty and correctness of their Colouring; to say nothing of

the scientific and interesting character of the Descriptions.

Another great charm of Mr. GOULD's productions-one which from their commencement classes, whether scientific or not-is the unequalled skill displayed in the ATTITUDES, GROUPINGS, MOVEMENTS, and ACCESSORIES of the BIRDS. In these animated pictures we indeed look upon, them "in their habits as they lived," seeing not one, but in most cases, both the male and female, favour of all, in various attitudes, sometimes sitting, sometimes on the wing, as well as the TREES which foo their homes, and the PLANTS, FLOWERS, and INSECTS upon which they feed. In the Work on Humming Birds, the number and variety of the ORCHIDS introduced are additional attractions.
