The Nation: "Scientific phraseology has been, as far as possible, care- 

 fully avoided. . . Mr. Elliot's condensed, well-written, and thoroughly 

 trustworthy biographies will prove most welcome," etc. 



Forest and Stream: "Naturalists, sportsmen, and bird-lovers generally 

 are to be congratulated on the appearance and character of this volume. 

 . . . It is especially admirable for its simplicity and directness and for the 

 very high quality of its many illustrations." 



London Field : "Mr. Elliot is to be congratulated upon his artist. The 

 illustrations by Mr. Edwin Sheppard are soft and delicate in outline ; they 

 convey an accurate impression of the species represented."
