The reproduction of the coloured illustrations was carried 
out by the firm Czettel es Deutsch, under the personal 
supervision of Gyula Czettel; and a German expert re- 
viewer^ acknowledged that the illustrations compared favourable 
with those of British masters. 
The Minister took care that presentation copies of the 
work should reach the proper quarters, a course which did 
much to advance its real object. 
But the book could not be anything other than what it 
was intended for, i. e. a scientific text-book of Hungarian 
economic ornithology, the bulkiness of which alone was 
sufficient to prevent its having any direct effect on the labour- 
ing classes as a whole, who required a book of much 
smaller dimensions. 
For this reason Ignacz DarAnyi entrusted the present 
writer with the compilation of a smaller work suitable for 
distribution among field labourers at large and adapted to 
the furtherance of the interest of economic ornithology and 
rational birdprotection.
