PROFESSOR MacGILLIVRAY was the most accomplished Ornithologist 

 of his time in Britain, and one of the last of the all-round naturalists. 

 The numerous extracts from what remains of his manuscript journals 

 — the story, for instance, of his walk from Aberdeen to London — are full 

 of human interest, and the representative selections from his natural history 

 sketches will enable the reader to appreciate the accomplished naturalist's 

 outlook and style. Some of the illustrations show MacGillivray's skill in 

 drawing birds, and others depict the colleges where he learned and taught.
