Books by Philip Lutley Sclater

This is volume II of William Henry Hudson's "Argentine Ornithology". It is a comprehensive encyclopedia of the birds native to Argentina, with detailed descriptions, historical information, notes on natural history, and more. This volume will appeal to modern readers with an interest in ornithology, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. William Henry Hudson (1841 - 1922) was an Anglo-Argentine naturalist, author, and ornithologist. He was one of the founding members of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and is best known for his novel "Green Mansions" (1904). Other notable works include "A Crystal Age" (1887) and "Far Away and Long Ago" (1918), which has since been adapted into a film. Contents include: "Fam. I. TURDIDÆ, or THRUSHES", "Fam. II. CINCLIDÆ, or DIPPERS", "Fam. III. MUSCICAPIDÆ, or FLYCATCHERS", "Fam. IV. TROGLODYTIDÆ, or WRENS", "Fam. V. MOTACILLIDÆ, or WAGTAILS", "Fam. VI. MNIOTILTIDÆ, or WOOD-SINGERS", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
