pp. xi, 495 pp. + 68 Photo plates. Edges uncut. 8vo. Original printed wraps. Manuscript ownership of K. B. Corbett. First Edition of a desirable volume in this classic series published by the Smithsonian Institution. "Everyone interested in birds should discover the magnificent work of Arthur Cleveland Bent (1866-1954), one of America's greatest ornithologists. His extraordinary Life Histories of North American Birds, published in a twenty-one volume series (1919-1968), provided behavioral information not available in the standard field guides. These pioneering studies are the durable foundation on which almost all other compilations of North American bird biology (including the contemporary Birds of North America) rest. In them Bent and his collaborators present, in enthusiastic, readable prose, comprehensive information about courtship, nesting, eggs, young, plumages, food, behavior, voice, enemies, and more. Readers who supplement their field guides with these delightful accounts acquire a deeper understanding of both the birds and their observers (as well as an interesting cultural history lesson)." NH9
pp. xii, 359 + Publisher's ad (2). + 48 Halftone color plates. 4to. 265 mm. Original full cloth binding, lettered in silver/white (now somewhat faded). Hardbound. Very Good. Neltje Blanchan De Graff Doubleday (1865-1918) was an American scientific historian and nature writer who published several books on wildflowers and birds under the pen name Neltje Blanchan. Her work is known for its synthesis of scientific interest with poetic phrasing, and most editions are usefully illustrated. In his introduction, (General) G. O. Shields (Coquina) argues for the protection of these beautiful American bird species; which were being decimated, not only by hunters, but by the fashion to adorn ladies' hats with mult icolored feathers. "Nature is not lavish of her beauties; They are widely scattered and occasionally displayed, to be selected with care, and gathered with difficulty" -- Lord Byron (1821). Full Cloth. Hardcover. Very Good. OVERSIZE 5 / YORK HS
