 PRESS OPINIONS 



Globe. — " We have found Mr. Boraston's book bright, pleasant 

 entertainment. . . . Mr. Lane has printed and bound his work 

 most charmingly." 



Literary World. — "It is a long time since we had in front of 

 us a book so broadly attractive ... a book that is but meagrely 

 described by being called a feast for lovers of ornithology. . . . We 

 particularly wish to call the attention of ornithologists, parents, and 

 schoolmasters to this charming book." 



Morning Leader. — " Mr. Boraston's delightful book . . . the 

 manner in which the book is produced could hardly be improved 

 upon." 



Athenaum. — " The illustrations, exceeding sixty in number, are, 

 in most instances, so exquisite that it is difficult to select any for 

 individual praise." 



Nature. — " If it be said that this notice be purely commendatory, 

 and containing nothing in the way of criticism, the reply is that 

 we have found nothing to criticise or condemn. It is real nature 

 study." 



Western Morning News. — "A really delightful volume of bird- 

 lore. . . . To lovers of ornithology this volume will be a permanent 

 fund of enjoyment, and to dabblers in the science it will prove of 

 no inconsiderable assistance." 



Western Daily Press. — " As a record of close personal observa- 

 tion, pleasingly written and full of interest, it has seldom been 

 surpassed." 



Birmingham Post.— " Possessing an attractive style, and thor- 

 oughly master of his subject, the author of this admirably printed 

 and illustrated book interests from the outset. . . . Mr. Boraston 

 may be congratulated upon having brought his readers appreciably 

 nearer to a knowledge of an extremely fascinating subject." 



Liverpool Courier. — " This beautiful book of birds . . . has the 

 impress of the faithful lover of nature. The delicate, affectionate 

 intimacy of it is wholly delightful, and one gets the feeling that 

 the author has lived with the birds and studied their manners and 

 customs in their fireless homes with an exquisite sympathy."
