* Among the large number of popular natural history books which are being published at 

 the present time, those of Mr. Pigott deservedly hold a very prominent position, inasmuch 

 as the author has a much more intimate acquaintance with his subject than many of his 

 compeers. The volume under notice is a new edition of Mr. Pigott's agreeable and accurate 

 sketches of London birds and other natural history subjects. He has added several new 

 essays to the present volume, which is admirably illustrated.' — T/ie Field. 



' A charming series of essays, mainly on birds, their ways and their haunts, many of which 

 are already well known and highly appreciated by the growing confraternity of bird 

 lovers.' — Tie Times. 



*A new edition of London Birds brings its own recommendation ^ith it, and the 

 recommendation is strengthened by the circumstance that Mr. Pigott has amplified the 

 chapters dealing solely with the bird residents of London, and has added new chapters on 

 birds which, if they do not even pay flying visits to Town, are more than sufficiently inter- 

 esting to justify the author's description of them in their homes. The author's quiet humour 

 and the antiquarian knowledge which crops up so pleasingly here and there lend his book 

 attractions to which more pretentious works can lay no claim. The illustrations are so good 

 that we should have welcomed more like them.' — Illustrated London News.
