ovr readers.
UNIVERSITY OF NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE,
April 5th 1860.
have much pleasure in Eaving an opportunity OF
expressing my opinion Of the merits OF the new
edition of the North american sylvia, OF MlCltAJA
and NTTAIL lately issued from the press OF aessrs'
RICE & HART, of Philadelphia. It Is superb work
and the plates with which it Is illustrated are ch4r
acterised as well by their accuracy IN sclentlhc ue-
tail as by the grace and beauty with Whch they
are presented 1t is by means an easy task Ior
boanist to preserve both Of these attributes III one

naues as authors of the work. are preemnent III the
