" It would be difficult to give a better condensation of facts in fewer lines than has 

 been contrived by Mr. Saunders. . . . We have only to add, that the natural history 

 loving portion of the British public ought to be grateful to Mr. Saunders for having 

 placed within reach at a moderate cost, and in one volume, such a well-illustrated and 

 accurately-written account of our native birds." — Zoologist. 



" Perhaps the question most freiiuently put to a zoologist by a lay friend is, ' What is 

 a really good book on British Birds that is not too expensive?' and the question has 

 been one that has been found extremely difficult to answer. Mr. Saunders deserves our 

 thanks for having taken this difficulty out of our way." — Athcmeuin. 



"Excellent alike in style and matter, it ought to be in the hands of every lover of 

 birds, and should take the place of several inferior books on the subject now before the 

 public." — Annals 0/ Natural History. 



" It is scarcely necessary to inform those who are acquainted with the previous work 

 of the author, that the information is not only valuable from its correctness, but that it 

 is brought up to the present daX^."— Field.
