Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 1 of 3 From the lateness of the period, in reference to the printing of these volumes, at which the occurrence of two examples of this Species in Ireland became known to me, I was only able to introduce a figure and a short notice on a single leaf in its place among the Eagles. The fur ther particulars here inserted may prove acceptable. This Eagle, very similar in its appearance to our well known Golden Eagle, but almost one-third smaller in size.

Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 3: With Coloured Illustrations of Their Eggs We may therefore leave the question of the classification of birds to the decision of the future, and, whilst recognizing its supreme import ance, regard it as a subject somewhat outside the scope of our present inquiry. The progress of ornithology in Britain may be conveniently studied in periods - the first comprising a century, the second half a century, and the third, fourth, and fifth each a quarter of a century.

Excerpt from History of British Birds, Vol. 3 of 4 This Fourth Edition of Yarrell's 'History of British Birds' was commenced by Professor Newton in 1871, and continued by him until May 1882, during which time the account of the Accipitres, Passeres, and Picari was completed. In June 1882 I undertook to finish the work - not willingly or with a light heart, but after considerable pressure and at much personal sacrifice. There were various difficulties which could be foreseen, and not the least among them was the conviction that my portion of the work must necessarily appear at a disadvantage when compared with the high standard of excellence attained by my predecessor. There was, moreover, a stipulation for the completion of the work by June 1885; and, allowing for a pre-arranged and necessary absence of six months from England, this left only two and a half years for writing the history of nearly 200 species. The accomplishment of the task within the allotted term may be allowed to extenuate some slips of the pen which are corrected in the Errata. The Second and Third Editions were little more than reprints with additions, of the First, which appeared just forty-two years ago.

Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 1 Such a mass of material as has been furnished in the man ner indicated, enables the ornithologist of the present day also to rectify many statements made by his predecessors. In no respect, perhaps, is this fact more manifest than in determin ing the geographical range of species, whether in the fullest sense of the word British, or only occasional visitors to our shores. It will be remembered that precision on this point was made by Mr. Yarrell a prominent feature of his work and, when the amount of information at his disposal is taken into consideration, it must be conceded that he was therein eminently successful. The excellent example which he himself set by adding to or correcting statements bearing upon this important subject, in his successive Editions, will not be lost upon the new editor, nor will the equally suggestive alterations in the arrangement of certain species be neglected by him. When Mr. Yarrell had satisfied himself that his original allocation of certain forms had been erroneous, he did not hesitate to correct the mistake - as, for instance, the Pratincole and the Phalaropes, placed in his First Edition among the Rails and Coots, but subsequently, with unquestionable propriety, referred to the Plovers and Sandpipers. The editor, therefore, will not scruple to make such systematic changes as may be considered to be satisfactorily established. He is, however, desirous of stat ing that, in cases which may be still regarded as doubtful, he will, whatever be his own predilections, preserve the original order of Mr. Yarrell, thinking it a lesser evil to continue a possibly or even a probably erroneous arrange ment, than to offer a new one which time may show to be no improvement. The lax method, adopted by older writers on British Ornithology, of admitting any chance straggler from distant lands to a place beside the real inhabitants of this country.

Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 1: The Figures Engraved on Wood; Containing the History and Description of Land Birds It may be'proper to obferve, that while one of the editors of this work was engaged in preparing the cuts, which are faithfully drawn from Nature, and engraved upon wood, the compilation of the defcriptions (of tbe Land Birds) was under taken by the other, fubject, however, to the corrections of his friend, whofe habits had led him to a more intimate acquain tance with this branch of Natural Hiflory: the compiler, therefore, is anfwerable for the defects which may be found in this part of the undertaking, concerning which he has lit tle to fay, but that it was the production of thofe hours which could be fpared from a laborious employment, and on, that account he hopes the feverity of criticifm will be fpared, and that it will be received with that indulgence which has been already experienced on a former occafion.

Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 1: With Coloured Illustrations of Their Eggs Interbreeding may or may not mean cross-breeding. Wherever the interbreeding which habitually takes place between the individuals of a species has not ceased, any differences between them can only be subspecific. Subspecies may be defined as groups in which the interbreeding which habitually takes place between individuals in a Species has not yet ceased, but takes place along the whole line of its geographical distribution, though seldom between the two extremes.xii IN troduction.

Excerpt from History of British Birds, Vol. 1: Containing the History and Description of Land Birds To those who attentively consider the subject of Natural History, as displayed in the animal creation, it will appear, that though much has been done to explore the intricate paths of Nature, and follow her through all her various windings, much yet remains to be done before the great conomy is completely developed. Notwithstanding the laborious and not unsuccessful inquiries of ingenious men in all ages, the subject is far from being exhausted. Systems have been formed and exploded, and new ones have appeared in their stead; but, like skeletons injudiciously put together, they give but an imperfect idea of that order and symmetry to which they are intended to be subservient: they have, however, their use, but it is chiefly the skilful practitioner who is enabled to profit by them; to the less-informed they appear obscure and perplexing, and too frequently deter him from the great object of his pursuit. To investigate, with any tolerable degree of success, the more retired and distant parts of the animal conomy is a task of no small difficulty. An enquiry so desirable and so eminently useful would require the united efforts of many to give it the desired success.
