Synopsis
The Naturalist's Library: Humming Birds by Sir William Jardine. This volume, part of the Naturalist's Library, offers a focused, illustrated treatment of the humming-birds (Trochilidae), combining historical context with a systematic natural history. It opens with a Memoir of Pennant, framing British natural history, followed by a thorough Natural History of Humming-Birds that describes dozens of species with plates and color illustrations. The descriptions cover plumage, size, bill shape, tail form, and gorget coloration, and note geographic distribution across the Americas (Mexico to Brazil, Guiana, Chile) and the islands of the Caribbean. A key feature is the Synopsis of the Trochilidae, organizing taxa into sub-families and genera, along with long entries on individual species such as Stokes’s Humming-Bird, Ruby-throated Humming-Bird, Amethystine varieties, and Duke of Rivoli’s Humming-Bird. The text emphasizes natural history observation, nest-building, and seasonal plumage changes, making the work a foundational reference for Victorian-era ornithology and for collectors of scientific plates.
