Excerpt from Illustrations of British Ornithology, Vol. 1 In this latter respect, I trust candid readers will not charge against me as a fault the large share of egotism that seems to pervade this volume; of two evils, I certainly would rather chuse to rest under this imputation, than that of being a downright compiler. As to the style, I have endeavoured, as far as lay in my power, to unite conciseness and perspicuity with that plain didactic manner in which I conceive all works on scientific subjects should be written.

Excerpt from British Birds, Vol. 1: An Illustrated Magazine Devoted to the Birds on the British List; June, 1907-May, 1908 IT was not without some misgivings that we ventured to launch the first volume of british birds, but the hearty support and kindly encouragement which we have received during the year have justified our conviction that there was an undoubted gap in the literature of British Ornithology, and that a Magazine entirely devoted to the study of British birds was required.

Excerpt from British Birds, Vol. 5: An Illustrated Magazine Devoted to the Birds on the British List; June 1911-May 1912 The return of the Bittern as a nesting species to Norfolk, so ably chronicled by Miss Turner, has afforded the most striking and important event of the year covered by this fifth volume of british birds. To regain a former breeding species, or to gain a new one, is of far greater interest and value than to discover a new straggler, although the importance of such additions to our list of British birds must not be minimized, for in these days of close watching and wider knowledge, it soon appears that many of these seeming stragglers are much more often overlooked than detected, and their occurrence may not be so accidental as has been thought.

Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 1 The publication of the late Mr. Yarrell's "History of British Birds" was begun in July 1837, and finished in May 1843. The merits of the work having been at once fully recognized, a Second Edition was called for in 1845, and then a Third, which last appeared in 1856, but a few months before its author's death. A large impression of each has been sold, and the work has been generally and deservedly regarded as the standard authority on British Ornithology. A New Edition is now demanded, not only by the public at large, but by many who possess the other issues, and a few remarks on the mode in which it is proposed to be conducted may not be out of place. The Second and Third Editions, with the exception of some few though not unimportant additions and alterations (to be presently mentioned more particularly), were, as a whole, mere reprints of the First, which, as has been already said, appeared some thirty years ago. Since that time, it is no exaggeration to say that the literature of the subject has been nearly doubled, while, even since the publication of the last Edition, an extraordinary increase has been made in the knowledge of our British Birds. Very many of the species respecting which little was actually known in 1856, have been traced by competent observers to their breeding-quarters, and their habits ascertained, and, in some instances, minutely recorded.

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. 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.

Excerpt from British Birds, Vol. 1 of 4 I have endeavoured, where space permitted, to represent as many species as possible of the same family, on the same plate, and drawn to the same scale. This not only enables me to make the volumes of a convenient size but also gives the reader an opportunity of comparing the various proportions and divergence of colour in closely related birds.

Excerpt from History of British Birds, Vol. 1: Containing the History and Description of Land Birds As far as we could, consistently with the plan laid down in the following work, we have consulted, and we trust with some advantage, the works of Willoughby, Ray, and other naturalists. In the arrangement of the various classes, as well as in the descriptive part, we have taken as guides our intelligent and indefatigable countrymen, Pennant and Lathamf'f to whose elegant and useful labours the world is indebted for a fund of the most rational entertainment, and who will be remembered by every lover of Nature as long as her works have power to charm. The communications with which we have been favoured by those gentlemen who wefe so good as to notice our growing work, have been generally acknowledged, each in its proper place; it remains only that we be permitted to insert this testimony of our grateful sense of them.

Excerpt from A Manual of British Ornithology, Vol. 1: Being a Short Description of the Birds of Great Britain and Ireland, Including the Essential Characters of the Species, Genera, Families, and Orders; The Land Birds No branch of Natural History has been more cultivated than Ornithology. The great beauty and liveliness of Birds, the diversity exhibited in their actions and mode of life, their wonderful migrations, the variety of modulated sounds which they emit, the facility with which many of them may be domesticated, the degree in which they are subservient to our wants, and various other considerations, render them objects of attraction to persons of every age and condition in society. At no former period has this study been more zealously and successfully prosecuted than at the present day. A mere list of the names of individuals who have written on the Birds of Great Britain would occupy considerable space; and when there are among them so many who have in various degrees contributed to the advancement of knowledge, it might seem unfair or presumptuous to point out those whose merits are most conspicuous. But, as the most valuable works are too expensive to be available to students of every class, it has seemed to me that, to promote this favourite study, nothing is more wanted than a compendium of British Ornithology, a work sufficiently extended to contain descriptions full enough to enable the student to determine every species, and of so small a size as to be conveniently portable.
