If this volume is the means of attracting more at- 

 tention, in this countrjs to the diseases of V)irds, if it 

 saves a part of the loss which now occurs from such 

 diseases, and if it serves to mitigate the sufferings of 

 these uncomplaining but highly sensitive creatures, 

 the purpose of the author will be accomplished.
