Book Description
"Prideaux John Selby, naturalist and High-Sheriff of Northumberland, devoted himself to forestry, entomology, and ornithology. Selby is best remembered as the first author/artist to attempt to produce a set of life-sized illustrations of british birds, the "Illustrations of British ornithology", London: 1821-34. Selby embodied the experience of nearly forty years of forestry (chiefly gained on his plantations at Twizell) in this present work."--Antiquarian bookseller's description.
