FOR BIRD LOVERS 
A New and Improved Edition of 
Mrs. MABEL OSGOOD WRIGHT’S 
Birdcraft 
A field book of two hundred song, game, and water birds. With 
eighty full-page plates by Louis AGAssiz FUERTES 
Eleventh edition. Cloth, 12mo, rounded corners, $2.00 net 
The book combines with singular skill and attractiveness the purposes 
of a Manual (by which a bird may be identified, and its name and place in 
the ornithological ranks learned) with alluring and sympathetic accounts 
of each bird or group of birds as it comes along. It is also a portrait gal- 
lery of American ornithology, containing more than a hundred figures, 
beautifully drawn, each in a characteristic place and attitude, by one of 
the most intelligent and artistic scientific draughtsmen in America — 
Mr. Louis Agassiz Fuertes. Many of the figures in these vivid illustra- 
tions are life-size, and each is so accurately drawn that the addition of 
colors would rarely add much, if anything, to their utility or to their 
beauty. 
The birds described are those most likely to be met, plus certain rarities 
of popular interest. Each is sufficiently described for recognition; but to 
aid still further in identifying a strange bird the book contains a key, or 
tabulated scheme, by which, starting with some easily recognized feature, 
the species may be traced down to its right name and position in the scale 
of birdlife. Add to these helps Mr. Fuertes’s illustrations, and the amateur 
needs no other book to introduce him to all the ordinary winged visitors 
to his garden or grove, in whatever part of the country he may dwell. 
The present edition contains a new preface and new chapter, and the 
text has been completely revised and brought up to date. The binding 
is neat and strong, but flexible, facilitating the carriage of the book; the 
paper is as light as possible ; the corners of the pages are conveniently 
rounded ; and a full Index is provided.
