British Birds' Nests : HOW, 



Where, and When to Find and Identify Them. 

 By RICHARD KEARTON, F.Z.S. With an Intro 

 duction by DR. BOWDLER SHARPS. Containing nearly 

 130 Illustrations of Nests, Eggs, Young, etc., in their 

 natural situations and surroundings, from Photographs 

 by C. KEARTON. 



" However much we may admire the woodcuts of Bewick or the draw- 

 ings of Joseph Wolf, there can be no doubt that the witness of the camera 

 comes first in order of authenticity ; and if in science the first thing we 

 look for is truth, the man who, often at the hazard of his life, has secured 

 true evidence is he who deserves the chief praise. We are very grateful to 

 Mr. Kearton and his brother for what they have accomplished, and only 

 hope that they will be encouraged to add many new illustrations to those 

 which they have given us already. It may be added that Mr. R. Kearton's 

 brief descriptions of all the known British nests are clear and accurate. "- 

 The Times. 



"The reproductions are admirable. Mr. Kearton writes well, and has 

 obviously the genuine enthusiasm for Nature; and the two brothers between 

 them have produced a volume that all bird-lovers will admire." Daily 

 Telegraph. 



" It is a book illustrated by a series of considerably more than a hundred 

 reproductions of photographs, most of which are remarkable for their ex- 

 cellence and beauty." Daily News. 



"The author of this volume is a realist of the right sort. It is difficult 

 to over-estimate the value of these accurate pictures, which are accompanied 

 by sufficient explanatory text." Daily Chronicle. 



" The illustrations show things as they are, and not as they are imagined 

 to be ; and this for a true aid to the study of ornithology, as of any other 

 department of natural history, is of course what is wanted. The book is 

 altogether most interesting and attractive." Westminster Gazette.
