THIS fascinating book on the Peregrine Falcon the 

 grandest bird of prey left in England combines the 

 salient facts of almost innumerable field notes, written 

 at the eyrie itself. It is a book that should appeal 

 with irresistible force to all true nature lovers. Many 

 striking and unexpected facts were revealed to the 

 author as a result of unwearying patience in a dimi- 

 nutive hut slung from the precipice of a lonely islet. 

 These records are now set forth in a wonderful 

 narrative which discloses the life history of the Pere- 

 grine Falcon from the moment of its hatching to the 

 day it finally leaves the eyrie. 



"No one who wishes to know the most that has been learned 

 about the Peregrine Falcon can afford to neglect this work. The 

 book reflects a high credit upon its writer's powers, patience, skill, 

 and well-directed zeal in observation, and will be prized by everyone 

 who wishes to know how wild birds live." The Times.
