" His chronicles are full of the enthusiasm of the born naturalist. He gossips about the affairs of birds in a 

 delightful strain, making ' Bird-Life ' an irresistible invitation to a fuller study of ornithology. It is not dry 

 details he offers, but pretty stories, biographical sketches of interesting families — all sorts of bird-lore that 

 proves the most enchanting reading." — Chicago Evening Post.
