* In the first edition of this volume, its author, in conformity with the plan of Wilson, 
adopted the arrangement of Latham, it being the best with which he was acquainted. But since 
the appearance of the second edition of the Manuel d^Omithologie of Temminck, the superiority 
of the arrangement of this naturalist, combined with its happy exemplification, has become so 
manifest, that a due regard to the promotion of ornithological science, has induced the author to 
adopt a system, which should seem to unite greater advantages than any which has yet been 
promulgated.
