"The appearance of a general work on birds by an ornithologist of the 

 long experience of Professor Newton may well be regarded as marking an epoch 

 in the science of which it treats. It is the best book of its kind which has yet 

 appeared. " — Natural Science. 



"Will probably be the most useful and accurate compendium of the 

 subject in any language." — Nature Notes. 



" While the matter of this dictionary is good, the printing and paper are 

 quite in harmony — they are both excellent." — The Midlan.d Naturalist, 



"The work was much wanted, and contains quite enough to make it of 

 very high value. " — Land and Water. 



"Promises to prove an extremely useful work." — Saturday Review. 



"Every one who buys it will be grateful to the veteran zoologist and his 

 fellow -workers, both English and American, for articles written so lucidly 

 that even the most difficult subjects are brought within the reach of an 

 amateur's intelligence." — Nature Notes. 



" Professor Newton has produced the magnv/m opus of his life, and when 

 completed the work will not only be a lasting monument of hia great researches 

 and close ornithological observations, but an invaluable and safe guide for all 

 students of one of the most delightful branches of human investigations." — 

 Yorkshire Post.
