" It may be asked, Why another book on British Birds? In the present case 

 the answer is a very satisfactory one, for this publication is designed and 

 promoted on advanced principles — in fact, although descriptions and figures 

 leave little to be desired as means of identification, the main object is to study 

 the birds themselves as sentient creatures."— Zoo/ogi'i/.

 The bird-lover will find information here for which he might otherwise have 

 to search through the whole literature of the subject." — Pall Mall Gazette.
