OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON PART I. 
“Such works as the careful and laborious plates of Mrs. Blackburn are invaluable in diffusing a truer knowledge 
of the attitude and character of the living Bird than can otherwise be obtained by the multitudes, who never 
have the happy chance of looking into a heron’s nest, or watching a flock of gannets on their fishing ground. 
A glance at her volume tells at once that all is from life.” — The Ibis, a Magazine of Ornithology, edited by 
Dr, Selater, Secretary of the Zoological Society of Ltmdon. 
“These are amongst the most perfect and conscientiously executed works we have ever met with. Mrs. 
Blackburn has produced such a series as must make glad the eyes of every naturalist who sees them. — The 
Athenceum. 
“We have seen no such birds since Bewick’s. We say this not ignorant of the magnificent plates of Selby, 
Audubon, Wilson, and Gould. — Tlw Scotsman. 
“There are two groups especially which you will never tire of looking at — a flock of gannets fishing for 
herrings in the blue sea off Ailsa Craig, and a company of herons in Lochiel.” — CornhiU Magazine.
