SUMMER STUDIES OF BIRDS 

 AND BOOKS. Crown 8vo. 3*. 6d. 



TIMES. "Readers of Mr. Warde Fowler's delightful Year with 

 the Birds do not need to to told what a dainty feast he has pro- 

 vided for them in his new volume. . . . The volume will be 

 treasured by all lovers of birds and their haunts." 



DAILY NEWS. "Most of the book is filled with the most 

 pleasant talk about wandering in the Alps, among the Welsh hills, 

 about marsh warblers, wagtails, bird songs, and the sights and 

 sounds of the country." 



PALL MALL BUDGET. " Mr. Fowler has a style of his own, 

 and a humour which is gentle and unobtrusive." 



GLOBE. "Those who read A Year with the Birds do not need 

 to be told that Mr. Fowler is a master of the special topic on 

 which he there discoursed, and here discourses, with so much 

 charm of manner." 



DAILY TELEGRAPH. "Mr. Fowler is a born student of 

 natural history, and possesses the happy faculty of being able to 

 describe what he sees." 



BRITISH WEEKLY. "Mr. Fowler has the faculty of interest- 

 ing the uninitiated ; he never bores, never mars his description 

 with details which none but an expert can follow. His book is 

 literature, and is an excellent specimen of the charm with which 

 the best naturalists invest their theme, and of the possibility of 

 seeing more through the eyes of an instructed observer than we 

 can see with our own." 



SCIENCE-GOSSIP." Every line of the chapters on birds shows 

 the author's intense love and appreciation of his feathered friends. 

 He does not write only as a critic, but as one who has lived with 

 them and loved them." 



NATURE. "It would be difficult to find a worthier disciple of 

 Gilbert White than Mr. Warde Fowler. . . . He is gifted with the 

 nice observation and discernment required by every student of 

 nature ; and he can express himself in attractive language 

 attractive because it is unaffected, and because it is devoid of 

 thin sentiment and gush. The result is that the papers reprinted 

 in this volume are really valuable contributions to ornithology. 

 To remark that there is not a dull page in the book may be a trite 

 saying ; nevertheless, so far as we are concerned, it is a true one 

 in this case." 



MORNING POST. "Has decidedly added to his reputation by 

 writing Summer Studies of Birds and Books."
