"I send forth this little book as a companion volume to my "Country Walks," hoping that it may induce some of the numerous young people visiting the sea-side, to take an interest in the study of Marine Natural History. I have once more to thank Mr. Gould for his kind permission to copy some of his drawings in his work on the Birds of Great Britain."--Preface.
Includes small wood-engraved decorative initials.
