Laishley (Richard ), 1 ca. 1858 
We know nothing of this author except that he belonged 
to Itchen, Hants. The eggs were partly illustrated from 
“ the extensive collection of Mr. Gardner, of 426 Oxford 
Street, London,” and the author expresses the pious hope 
that “ the mention of this courteous accommodation should 
induce our readers to seek their rarer specimens from his 
hands.” Mr. Gardner, however, who is still (1914) in busi- 
ness, has no recollection of him.

This writer is described as late Head Master of the British 
School, Dunstable, and popular lecturer in natural philo- 
sophy. He was at the Industrial School, Northall, in 1857. 
The ornithological matter in his book is of very slight im- 
portance.

Landsborough (Rev. David), 1779-1854 
This well-known naturalist, sometimes known as Lands- 
borough the elder, was born August 11, 1779, at Dairy in 
the Glen Kens of Galloway. He joined the Free Kirk and 
became minister of Saltcoats in 1843. He died in September 
1 In an advertisement in some of the copies of the book occurs a “ Popular History 
of British Birds’ Eggs ... by the Rev. J. Laishley which we take to be an erroneous 
reference to the present work.
