Thomas Bewick (1753-1828) is synonymous with finely crafted wood engravings of the natural world, and his instantly recognisable style influenced book illustration well into the nineteenth century. During his childhood in the Tyne valley, his two obsessions were art and nature. At fourteen, he was apprenticed to the engraver and businessman Ralph Beilby (1743-1817) with whom he later published A General History of Quadrupeds (also reissued in this series). The present work, with its text compiled from various sources, was the first practical field guide for the amateur ornithologist, inspiring also artists and writers. Each of the two volumes contains hundreds of illustrations of breathtaking beauty and precision: one for each species, neatly capturing its character in exquisite detail, interspersed with charming vignettes of country life. Volume 1, first published in 1797, covers land birds, including eagles, owls, sparrows and finches.

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.

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.
