SONG BIEDS, 
AND HOW TO KEEP THEM. 
BY THE AUTHOR OF " IN-DOOR PLANTS." 
" A thoroughlj philaiithi'oi^ical and yet practical manual on 
the treatment of birds Those who are interested in 
acquii'ing a practical knowledge of the management of birds 
could not do better than consult a book which is full of the 
pleasantest experiences on the subject." — Press. 
"In perusing this little volume nothing strikes one more 
forcibly than the humane and tender spirit which breathes 
throughout it towards the fragile beings of whom it treats. It 
is their happiness and not the mere gratification of the possessor 
which is made the chief object ; or rather, we should say, we are 
taught to seek the one in promoting the other Those 
who regard birds less as objects of care and love than as 
ornamental adjuncts to an elegant home, will be pleased to find 
themselves put in the best way of aiTanging aviaries of various 
forms and sizes, so as to produce striking and picturesque efPects. 
The management of birds, both in health and disease, is largely 
treated of ; the most simple means being in both cases chiefly 
recommended." — Globe. 
" If people will keep song birds in cages, they cannot do better 
than be guided by this little manual, which is both humane and 
sensible."— ^pectotor. 
" This little work on song bii'ds treats fully of the rearing and 
taming of every kind. The food to be given to them in health, 
the medicine to be administered in sickness, are detailed by one 
who from childhood has studied their hsLhit&.''~Examiner.
