Book Description
Excerpt from Bird Life in England IN these pages I have attempted to give a somewhat uncon ventional view of bird life in England and her sister kingdoms to north and west. The naturalist may smile at a monograph so incomplete as this, but in Yarrel, Morris, Gould, Grey, and a score of others, he will find exhaustive authors who have gone with infinite care and pains through the Whole list of British birds and epitomized each. No attempt of this sort has been made here. There are, to begin with, more than three hundred birds nesting with greater or lesser frequency in our islands, and even at such modest allotment as two pages to each, we should have at once a bulky volume of six hundred pages. But the greater part of these wild fowl of meadow and marsh are the curator's birds alone, and lovers of country side and the life of copse and dingle can only hope to meet with but a very much reduced selection from the formidable list which professors and students have put together. It is of these birds, the more familiar ones, I write. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Annals of Bird Life: A Year-Book of British Ornithology I have so arranged the present volume that the student may readily acquaint himself with what is going on among the birds during every month of the year. I make no pretensions to completeness; the subject is too vast and varied to be exhausted in a single volume. In many cases the dates given can of necessity only be approximate ones - an allowance of a few days either way must often be made for differ ences of latitude, state of the weather, and other local in uences.

Book Description
Excerpt from Birds of the British Empire AS something like 5000 species of birds - about half the number known to exist in the habitable globe - are to be found in the dominions of our Queen, it must be obvious that the briefest description of them could not be included within the compass of a small volume like the present one, as its size is necessarily restricted by the limits imposed upon each book in the series of the imperial library. Nevertheless, it is hoped that the present glance at a big subject will prove interesting and valuable to many people. The number of persons interested in birds is unquestion ably enormous but the proportion is probably much smaller of those who require an exhaustive treatise carried out with cosmopolitan comprehensiveness and, in any case, the expense of such a work would be a bar to a wide sale. Later on, if this epitome should secure popular favour, it will be easy to supply the demand for more. With regard to the illustrations in this volume, it should be noted that no attempt, for obvious reasons, has been made to furnish them to exact scale - the great object being to give the best available drawings but in the letterpress descriptions the size of each bird has been carefully given, and the index at the end of the volume will enable the reader to immediately find what he may be looking for, and probably all familiar, and many unfamiliar, names Will be found, modest though the proportions of the book are.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Birds of Old English Literature The entire body of Old English literature abounds in references to birds, but the most fruitful source of material is the lists of bird-names in the glosses, in some of which there seems to be a rude attempt at classification. More over, the art oi falconry (cf. Sect. XXXVII), which was introduced into England not later than the middle of the 8th century, and was very popular among the Anglo Saxons, presupposes a considerable knowledge of the haunts and habits of birds.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Concise Handbook of British Birds Although the urgent need for compression has prohibited the author from presenting this work as a complete natural history of British Birds, yet he believes that as a handy textbook for reference it has had as yet no rivals. It has been brought up to date as far as possible, every species on the British list having been included, and nearly all described, while the records Of the rarer species have been carefully collected, and in the case Of the common species a tolerably complete life-history has been given. The numbering Of the genera and species will also probably prove Of service. The length Of a bird is (unless otherwise stated) measured from the base Of bill to tip Of tail, all measure ments being in inches and hundredth-parts. The description first given is (unless expressly mentioned) that Of a bird in breeding plumage, 'but the seasonal changes, if appreciable, are added. The habitat may be taken as meaning the region inhabited during the breeding season, but the winter range Of migratory species has usually been added. If brackets enclose a describer's name they indicate that the generic name adopted is not that used by the describer.

Book Description
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.
