The Suining and S chewtific Eress, a9
A Rare Boux.—An instance of how oftea
the purchuse of a fine book, besides encouragjag art and literature, may prove ao good
pecuniary investmeat, is given by the price, ut
the presont moment, of tho original grand folio
edition of Awlubon’s “* Birds of America,”
The work was completed in 1810, when Bnron
Couvier pronounced it * the most inngaificeut
iwonument ever raised by art to natoral science.”
a\ few years siace coptes could be procured for
from $500 to S600; now $1,509 is asked for a
well-bound copy, and it would uot be Hh
to procure one o: any kind for $1,2 As
ouly 175 copies were printed, and met of
them have been lost or cestroyed at the South,
the price is certain to advance, and will shortly
range a3 high as $2,000.
