This work contains accurate descriptions of the Color and Size of the 

 Eggs, and location of the Nests of the Land and Water Birds of North 

 America, together with " Notes " and Directions for Collecting Birds' Eggs

The following specimen description plainly shows how invaluable the 

 work must be to every collector:

 usually beyond the reach of many collectors.

 without this work.
