. Audubon and his journals [microform]. Birds; Zoology; Oiseaux; Zoologie. ii6 AUDUBON Green Bank, September 6. When I reached this place I was told that Lady Isabella Douglass, the sister of Lord Selkirk, former governor of Canada, was here; she is un- able to walk, and moves about in a rolling chair.

I thought it more cruel to permit them to grow tame and gentle, and then suddenly to turn and murder them by thousands, than to give them the fair show that our game has in our forests, to let them be free and as wild as nature made them, and to let the hunter pay for them by the pleasure and work of pursuing them.
