PRESS OPINIONS.


The Field— “ The work may be taken as the most elegant and useful example

of those issued on a group of cage birds.”


The Feathered World — 1 The book is beautifully got up and printed, and should

command a ready sale, not only on that score, but for the information

given by the author, who knows his subject.”


The Ibis —“ Mr. Setli-Smith sends us the first number of his new book on Parrots

in captivity, which will, no doubt, receive great support from our

friends the aviculturists. It is nicely printed and got up, and contains

four well-drawn coloured plates by Mr. Goodchild, besides some figures

in the text. Full particulars concerning the habits of the birds in

captivity are supplied.”


Bird Notes—“ A new work from Mr. Seth-Smith’s pen is sure of a welcome

from all lovers of foreign birds, and we can assure our readers that

‘ Parrakeets ’ will fulfil their highest expectations, and if they are

wise enough to become possessors of it, it will always occupy an


honoured corner in their bookcase.


“ Most of the illustrations are by Mr. H. Goodchild, and are of a

high degree of excellence.


“‘Parrakeets’ will, undoubtedly, be the standard work on the

subject, for aviculturists.”
