Tlie great interest which naturally attaches to our Game Birds and Wild Fowl renders 

 it a matter of surprise that no work has yet appeared, not only devoted exclusively to tliem, 

 but which should give, ui addition to the ordinary information as to their history, liabit>:, 

 and sporting peculiarities, accurately coloured figures of each of them. The object of tlie 

 present work is to supply this deficiency ; and in doing this it has been the author's 

 indeavour to avoid, as much as possible, all mere technicalities ; while, at the same time, 

 the most accurate and complete history of each bird is given ; so that the sportsman Avho 

 never made Natural History his stud}^ may find no difficulty in recognising any bird lie 

 may meet witli in his shooting excursions, whether he confines himself to the limits of tlie 

 preserves, or seeks the more exciting sport to be met with on our secluded lakes and s«a- 

 sliores. 



THE ILLUSTEATIONS 



Are from Original Drawings, coloured after nature in the most exquisite maimer. Alto- 

 gether, a more unique and elaborate volume upon the subject of Game Birds and 

 Wild Fowl has never been published.
