Dedicat. a Cassiano Dal Pozzo il cui stemma araldico è inciso in una gr. vignetta in rame al front. Rariss. ediz. orig., solitamente rifilata e mai marginosa e ben conservata come nel nostro esempl. Cicognara 2072. Gamba 2029: “L’Autore, di patria novarese, dedica quest’opera al celebre Cav. Cassiano Dal Pozzo. L’opera è di interesse sia ornitologico che venatorio, dato che l’Olina è considerato anche l’inventore della tecnica di uccellagione “a ragnaja”. Sono descritte molto accuratamente 45 specie di uccelli, ed i modi di prenderli e di conservarli”. Secondo alcuni l’Olina non fu l’originale autore del testo che costituirebbe un adattamento di un precedente poema composto da Valli da Todi e pubblicato a Roma nel 1601, dal titolo “Il canto degl’augelli”. Bacchi della Lega 21. Graesse V, 19. Piantanida 146. Ceresoli p. 384. Brunet IV, 180. Minimo intervento in due punti dell’angolo bianco inf. destro. Bell’esempl. marginoso. [219]

Ornithology Coues Eliott
A List of the Birds of New England. Reprinted from the Proceedings Essex Institute Vol. V.
Salem Mass: Essex Institute Press 1868. First Separate Appearance. 1 vols. 8vo. Original printed tan paper wrappers. Wear to spine and extremities of wrapper lower cover detached but present. First Separate Appearance. 1 vols. 8vo. This work appeared in the Communications of the Essex Institute in May 1868 titled "Catalogue of the Birds of North America contained in the Museum." Coues stated that "the reprint gives the faunal list precedence over the museum catalouge but this is true only as regards the title-the general text is unaltered" Ayer. According to Coues there were only 50 copies of this reprint. Elliott Coues 1842-1899 became interested in natural history in particular ornithology when his family moved from New Hampshire to Washington D. C. Coues became aquainted with the Smithsonian Institution and its collections which fed his interests in natural history. As an assistant surgeon in the Army during the Civil War Coues "collected studied and published extensively on birds during his peripatetic military assignments" DSB at various forts in Arizona North Carolina and in the Dakota Territory. Later he served as naturalist for the Northen Boundary Commission 1873-1876 and for the Hayden survey in the ensuing four years. He was professor of anatomy at Columbian College now George Washington University from 1877 to 1886 and was editor of natural history subjects for the "Century Dictionary." He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences among numerous other societies and was a founder of the American Ornithologists' Union an early conservation group. Coues published some very well-received innovative tracts on birds with "Key to North American Birds" and "Check-List of North American Birds." "A distinctive feature of the "Check-List" was Coues's corrections in the orthography and pronunciation of original scientific names . . . He was a leader in the trend of his era toward reducing the great number of species names to varieties especially in local forms" DSB. He was considered a "lucid writer with a charming style second only and successor to Spencer F. Baird his mentor in ornithology Coues presented a great deal of information on the behavior and life histories of birds" DSB. Late in life he checked and annotated manuscripts of various American western exploration most notably the journals of Lewis and Clark and of Zebulon Pike. "In his meticulous fashion he retraced the explorers' routes and enlarged considerably upon their natural history observa. Ayer p. 142 Essex Institute Press unknown
