91. (ANON.) BREWSTER, DAVID:
"Mr. Audubon's Ornithology of the United States of America,"
_Edinburgh Journal of Science_, vol. vi, p. 184. Edinburgh,
1826-1827.
This highly commendatory paper by David Brewster, and that by Robert
Jameson, which follows, gives the first formal announcement of
Audubon's work in the scientific journals of the day.
92. (ANON.) JAMESON, ROBERT:
"Mr. Audubon's great work on Birds of the United States of
America," _Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal_, vol. 2, pp.
210-211. Edinburgh, 1826-1827.
The editor stated that Audubon had spent twenty-two years in the
study of American birds, and that the engravings, of which several
had already appeared, would be accompanied by a quarto volume of
letterpress, containing all his observations on the natural history of
the species, in the form of letters, an example of which was given in
the paper on the Turkey Buzzard in the present number of that _Journal_
(see No. 17).

"The Romance of the Rattlesnake," _Franklin Journal and
American Mechanics' Magazine_, vol. ii (August), N. S., p. 144.
