Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Birds of the British Isles The drawings of British Birds which appear in this work were originally published in the Newcastle Weekly Chronicle, extending over a period of nearly ten years. Numerous correspondents of that paper expressed the wish that, when the series was completed, the drawings, with descriptions of the birds, should be published in book form. It is mainly in response to repeated suggestions of this kind that the present work is offered to the public. The birds were drawn with the view of giving students of nature a strictly accurate representation of each specimen, with as much detail as was considered necessary for identification. Although every endeavour has been made to indicate the various markings of the feathers, bill, feet, etc., I venture to think that in no instance have I sacrificed artistic completeness for mere elaboration. The classification is based on a simple plan, and I hope that the general reader will appreciate the system adopted.
