Audubon the Naturalist: A History of His Life and Time. Vol. 2 (of 2)
Herrick, Francis Hobart
Audubon, John James, 1785-1851
A reply to Waterton, and an appeal for as much justice for Audubon
as was shown to Wilson, his predecessor. Dated "Charleston, Dec. 31,
1833."
125. BACHMAN, JOHN:
"An account of some experiments made on the habits of the Vultures
inhabiting Carolina,—the Turkey Buzzard and the Carrion Crow,
particularly as it regards the extraordinary powers of smelling
usually attributed to them," _Journal of the Boston Society of
Natural History_, vol. i, pp. 15-31. Boston, 1834.
Bachman did not deny the power of smell to the vultures, but maintained
that they were guided to their prey by sight alone.
126. (ANON.):
"Audubon's Birds of America and Ornithological Biography,"
_Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal_, January, 1835.
"All is life, health, and beauty. Never before were birds so
represented, and if ever again they will be, still Audubon will
be the chief of a school, of whom it will be said that it studied
nature. Turn now to any volume of plates that you can find, and
what presents itself? not a bird surely, but an effigy stuffed
with straw, and more worthy of being burnt, than that of a Tory
statesman by a radical mob."
