Yols. VII. to XIV. were devoted to Ornithology, but there is little 
new on British birds ; only Vols. VII. and VIII. were by Shaw, 
the others being compiled after his death by J. P. Stephens ; the 
descriptions are, however, not original, being generally taken 
from Latham’s Synopsis. In Vol. VII. (pp. 135-40) will be found 
directions for training hawks.
