Excerpt from An Illustrated Manual of British Birds The plan of a work in which exactly two pages are devoted to each species, may justly be called Procrustean; and, unfortunately for the author, the limited space at his disposal has often been encroached upon owing to the length of an engraving, whereas extension of the text has rarely been called for. Little idea, for instance, can be formed of the labour involved in an article like that on the Crossbill, wherein the necessary consideration of the distinctive features of several local races increased the difficulty of sketching briefly the history of a remarkable bird. In this and similar cases, when four lines in excess meant as many hours of hard work in condensing, the writer has sometimes been tempted - in the interest of his readers as well as in his own - to deviate from the original scheme; yet any such concession must necessarily have led to an increase in the bulk and the expense of the work. Even now, the low price is due to the fact that the publishers own the blocks from which the illustrations were struck for the four editions of Yarrell's 'British Birds'; though to these have been added wood-cuts of many recent wanderers to Great Britain, such as the Isabelline, Black-throated and Desert Wheatears, the Barred Warbler, Wall-Creeper, Needle-tailed Swift, Lesser Kestrel, Killdeer and Sociable Plovers, and Mediterranean Black-headed Gull; while fresh engravings have taken the place of the unsatisfactory originals of the Marsh-Harrier, Gos-Hawk, Merlin and Great Auk. Great liberality has also been shown by the publishers in placing no restriction on alterations whenever the slightest improvement was thereby attainable. For example, a scrap of information, obtained by mere chance, led to the re-writing of the article on the Blue-throat at the last moment, and that too for reasons which nine in ten of my readers might, perhaps, consider inadequate; the tenth, however, would appreciate the need for strict accuracy, and it is his intelligent approbation that I have striven to deserve.

Excerpt from Hand-Book to the Birds of Great Britain, Vol. 1 Every ornithologist who, in the course of his career, may be called upon to write a book upon British Birds, will always find this to be one of the most interesting, but certainly one of the most difficult, tasks which he has ever undertaken. He is sure to discover that not only is the path well-worn, but that the work of his many predecessors has been so well done that little chance of originality remains to him. No country in the world has had more excellent books written about its birds than Great Britain, whether we consider illustrated works, such as those of Selby and Gould, or the attractive "Coloured Figures of British Birds," now being published by Lord Lil-ford; or the many exhaustive books on the life-histories of our native birds, such as those of Macgillivray, Yarrell, and others; or the excellent works on eggs published by Hewitson and Seebohm. Of the two leading publications on the subject, viz., those of Macgillivray and Yarrell, the palm for scientific merit must be given to that of the Scotch naturalist, and the increasing value of his works, day by day and year by year, testifies to an appreciation of his labour which would have gladdened and cheered him in his work, had such regard been bestowed upon him during his lifetime.

Excerpt from The Birds of Britain: Their Distribution and Habits T is hoped that this little work, though primarily intended for schools, may be found useful by those who require a short hand-book which includes the results of the most recent observations, and is adapted to modern nomenclature. The author wishes to tender his thanks to Mr W. Eagle Clarke, who is now pre paring a new edition of Yarrell's British Birds, for glancing over the proofs, in order that they may be in general agreement with the forthcoming work; while he cannot fail to recall with great regret the times when he was working in company with the late Howard Saunders, then engaged in compiling his well-known Manual of British Birds, or short form of Yarrell.

Excerpt from The Ready Guide to British Birds As the result of long experience the author has cc me to the conclusion that there is a need for a guide to British Birds at once more simple and more ready than any yet published. After various experiments the plan adopted in this book was decided upon, viz. First to arrange the descriptions so that in the case of each bird the same characteristics (colour, ight, haunts, &c.) always follow one another in the same order and then to divide the descriptions into vertical columns, so that the Observer can, by looking down any one column, run through the different descriptions of any particular feature until he comes to one which corresponds tty what he has observed.

Excerpt from A Pocket-Book of British Birds As introductory to this little book, I think it is desirable that its object should, in the first place, be explained. It is intended solely for the purposes of reference in the field, and has been very carefully compiled by the combined aid of well-known ornithological works, coupled with practical observations and notes made by myself from time to time in various parts of the British Isles. The book is of a small size, and should be carried in the pocket, where it would always be handy. I am aware that an alphabetical arrangement has much to commend it, but I have refrained from adopting such for the very reason that, in the field, as elsewhere, the mind should be trained to regard birds as creatures belonging to some distinct order and family; accordingly I have adopted a scientific arrangement similar to that set forth in Howard Saunders's admirable 'Manual of British Birds, ' a comprehensive work that all lovers and students of Ornithology, requiring more complete information, should at once consult. Information will be found about all British birds that breed in these islands, and those that are regular visitors at one time of the year or another. Rare species - in some cases irregular stragglers and perhaps unwilling visitors - hardly come within the scope of this book, as the chances of seeing them during a country ramble are very slight. Dismissing at once those species of which only a few specimens have been observed or obtained in this country, there yet remain a goodly number of rare birds, and a short note about them is given, either because in many cases, though irregular in their visits, they may be seen in considerable numbers when they do come, or because, though admittedly rare, they so closely resemble other commoner kinds, that it is quite possible they may have been overlooked.
