This author’s work deals with familiar British birds, a 
figure of the bird being given as a headpiece to each article, 
and a figure of its egg as a tailpiece. The woodcuts are 
tolerably correct, but indifferently printed. In the preface 
he informs us, “ from my boyhood the study of Nature has 
been my great delight.”
