Parts 1 and 2 first appeared in 1864, and parts 3-5 (4/5 being a double number) appeared in 1864. "Particularly attractive," according to Bennett. It is the second of Elliot's works and one one of only three of his ambitious color-plate bird books to be wholly produced in the United States.

Subscribers’ list and other preliminary text bound before part 1 (usually before part 4). 27 hand-colored lithographic plates by Bowen & Co. of Philadelphia after drawings by D.G. Elliot; a single bird plate after J. Wolf, and the two plates depicting eggs after William S. Morgan (very occasional dust-soiling or very pale water-spots, first and last plates in vol. 4 cracking at gutter margins). Original green pictorial lithographed boards (sympathetically rebacked, edges and corners showing, some minor wear/staining, mostly to part 3). Custom solander box, morocco spine label.
