__ “Few living ornithologists have a better personal: acquaintance with British Birds 
than Mr. E. T. Booth, and we are glad to have the results of his observations, accompanied, 
they are, by Mr. Neale’ s life-like illustrations. These are taken entirely from subjects’ 
Mr. Booth’s own well-known collection at Brighton, where every bird now figured may

it Mr. Booth’s bird-gallery.”—The Ibis. 
“We have been so long accustomed to refer to standard works of reference, which, 
ugh excellent in their kind, are after all but compilations, that it is refreshing to take
