Mr. Chas. Dixon, in the Introduction to this work, says:--"Just a
century ago, British naturalists and the British public were captivated

that has retained a high place in the affections of ornithologists and
artistic people generally down to the present time. To a certain extent,

his remarkable series of drawings will find for themselves, it is
superior
