"In every point of view the present work is entitled to our warmest commendations. The figures of the animals are spirited and correct; and the general effect beautifully picturesque: but what is of still greater importance, the pen of the writer is no less excellent than the pencil of the designer, and the tool of the engraver. The descriptions are full, perspicuous, and elegant. They are, in a great degree, the result of the author's personal study, and are, therefore, generally expressed in his own language."-Annual Review.
