Tus is not a BrocRaPHy of a public man so much as a Lire of a naturalist. The book contains Lord 
Lilford’s Natural History notes as recorded in “The Mediterranean Journals,’ and his remarks on the 
Natural History of his own country side. These are, it is true, notes on the small occurrences of every 
day; but all our knowledge of the ways of living creatures is compact of careful records such as these; 
and the subject is one of unfailing interest. The same thought applies to the Aviary Notes, the records 
at first hand of a master ‘“ Aviarist.”
