- J. AUDUBON, SYNOPSIS OF BIRDS OF AMERICA,
J. AUDUBON, SYNOPSIS OF BIRDS OF AMERICA, 1839 A Synopsis of The Birds of North America by John James Audubon. Printed 1839, Adam and Charles Black, Edinburgh. Longman, Rees, Brown, Green, and Longman, London. First edition. The companion volume to Audubon's massive four-volume "Birds of North America" (1827-1838), it serves as an index to that collection. There are 491 individual entries, each containing the formal Latin name as well as the English translation of the name of each bird that appeared in the set, the number of the corresponding plate, a paragraph of description detail, and information as to where each species is commonly found in North America. In 1826, Audubon went to Europe to find a publisher with not only the interest but the capability to issue his folio hand-colored collection. He was particularly well received in Edinburgh and, after the King subscribed to his books, in London as well. It was not until his return to the United States that he issued a smaller (octavo, 7 volume) set of his "Birds" (1873). 359 pp. 8vo.
