Nash (Joseph), ca. 1824 
This author was by profession a bird-fancier, and resided 
at 39 Great Windmill Street, Haymarket. He states : “ I 
do not profess to offer the following treatise as showing either 
elegance of thought, or purity of diction, but merely as the 
result of many years’ experience, which, from time to time, 
I have put together at my leisure moments.” His work 
includes the Canary among the British song-birds. 
Twenty-two species of birds are described, seven of the 
plates being of birds and one of eggs, containing “ correct 
representations of thirteen different species, which were 
engraved, after drawings made expressly for this work, from 
the eggs themselves, in the possession of Mr. Yarrel [sic], 
who kindly permitted the artist to make sketches of them.” 
The work was published “ Price 5s. or with the Plates 
coloured, 8s.”
