most of the questions, and when such reports contained nothing to 

 show that the writers had ever taken pains to notice the Sparrow's 

 habits at all, it seemed unadvisable to print these replies. The fact has 

 been kept constantly in mind, however, that all omissions might be con- 

 strued by some as evidence of partiality or prejudice, and this is the 

 only excuse for retaining many statements which seem to contain noth- 

 ing of value. 



The friends of the Sparrow, as well as its enemies, have been guilty 

 of numberless intemperate utterances, which have served no useful pur- 

 pose whatever. The following pages contain sufficient evidence for an 

 impartial verdict, and no apology is made (and none is deemed neces- 

 sary) for the omission of mere opinions, unsupported by evidence of any 

 kind.
