Not illustrated. 1835 edition. Excerpt: ... THE ROBIN RED-BREAST AND CUCKOO. Hen Red-breast. (To the boy.) Yes; I see you are admiring me: and indeed you are not singular. I am a very wonderful bird! Such a thing has happened to me! Just come a little way down the lane to my nest, and you shall see. There! did you ever in your life see a young robin so large as that 1 Be so kind as to come a little nearer, for it has the trick of opening its mouth so wide when my mate and I come near, that you can see little else, unless you look-closely: --a little nearer if you please.

I am sure my mate is extremely unreasonable not to be delighted with it. Here he comes, however, with a fine worm.--Well, Robin, dear; you look tired! Come, sit down by me on this perch, and rest yourself a little time. Robin. Rest! rest! my dear. How is it possible one should have any time for rest with such a great, ugly, ravenous creature as that in the nest? Hen. Nay, Robin, now you are downright cross; I am sure you must allow it is very handsome. Robin. I allow no such thing, Mrs. Redbreast; it is an ugly, voracious, selfish thing. I am sure you cannot know that it has thrown one of our own dear little ones out of..
