TO THE 



NATURAL HISTORY OF THE COUNTY. 



By MILLER CHRISTY, F.L.S. 



With 162 Woodcut Illustrations, 2 Plans, and a Frontispiece. 



PXESS NOTICES. 



" This work . . . does equal credit to the enterprise of the Essex Field 

 Club and the author. . . . The work is thoroughly well done, and is a 

 valuable addition to our local lists." Athenceum. 



" Mr. Christy's volume, with its valuable original contributions from local 

 ornithologists, will be a permanent addition to British zoology, and a stimulus to- 

 the Field Clubs throughout England." Leisure Hour. 



"This book, profusely illustrated, places a rich fund of information at the 

 disposal of all who love our feathered friends, collected by one who evidently 

 knows them well." Pearson's Weekly. 



u Mr. Christy makes here an interesting contribution to the natural history of 

 his county." Spectator, 



" Almost every county nowadays 'has its local bird-chronicle, and it seems 

 remarkable that a county ornithologically so rich as Essex should have remained 

 a field unattempted until Mr. Christy took it up. . . . His book is full of 

 information excellently put together." Saturday Review. 



" Mr. Miller Christy's recently published and excellent work on the ' Birds of 

 Essex ' deserves the attention of every rambler in Epping Forest." The Globe. 



" This work . . . differs from most works of the kind in being profusely 

 illustrated. That most of the figures of birds are not new is, in this instance, no 

 drawback, for they have been well chosen." The Field. 



" In dealing with the mass of material that has come to hand [Mr. Christy's] 

 industry and judgment are on every page." Zoologist. 



" We have now before us a volume on the Birds of Essex, for which, the author 

 tells us, he has been collecting information and materials for fifteen years. It 

 seems to fully correspond in completeness to the time spent upon it. . . 

 Mr. Christy's volume is, in fact, well planned and well got up, and it has the 

 great merit of not being too bulky." Ibis. 



" The ' Birds of Essex ' ... is a valuable addition to the literature of the 

 county. . . . The work bears evidence of great industry and literary skill."
