A Pocket-Book of British Birds (Classic Reprint) by E. F. M. Elms Pdf

Excerpt from A Pocket-Book of British Birds As introductory to this little book, I think it is desirable that its object should, in the first place, be explained. It is intended solely for the purposes of reference in the field, and has been very carefully compiled by the combined aid of well known ornithological works, coupled with practical observa tions and notes made by myself from 'time to time in various parts of the British Isles. The book is of a small size, and should be carried in the pocket, where it would always be handy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Ready Guide to British Birds (Classic Reprint) by B. A. Carter Pdf

Excerpt from The Ready Guide to British Birds As the result of long experience the author has cc me to the conclusion that there is a need for a guide to British Birds at once more simple and more ready than any yet published. After various experiments the plan adopted in this book was decided upon, viz. First to arrange the descriptions so that in the case of each bird the same characteristics (colour, ight, haunts, &c.) always follow one another in the same order and then to divide the descriptions into vertical columns, so that the Observer can, by looking down any one column, run through the different descriptions of any particular feature until he comes to one which corresponds tty what he has observed.

A History of British Birds, Vol. 1 of 3 (Classic Reprint) by William Yarrell Pdf

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 List of British Birds Those species which the Committee does not regard as positively authenticated as British are distinguished by having their names printed in italics and included in square brackets. But it has been deemed advisable to regard as British every species of which even a single specimen has been obtained in an undoubtedly wild state within the confines of the British Islands. The present list enumerates 452 species, of which 76 are included in square brackets, leaving 376 species as the ascertained number of British birds.

Hand-Book to the Birds of Great Britain, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) by Richard Bowdler Sharpe Pdf

Excerpt from Hand-Book to the Birds of Great Britain, Vol. 1 Every ornithologist who, in the course of his career, may be called upon to write a book upon British Birds, will always find this to be one of the most interesting, but certainly one of the most difficult, tasks which he has ever undertaken. He is sure to discover that not only is the path well-worn, but that the work of his many predecessors has been so well done that little chance of originality remains to him. No country in the world has had more excellent books written about its birds than Great Britain, whether we consider illustrated works, such as those of Selby and Gould, or the attractive "Coloured Figures of British Birds," now being published by Lord Lil-ford; or the many exhaustive books on the life-histories of our native birds, such as those of Macgillivray, Yarrell, and others; or the excellent works on eggs published by Hewitson and Seebohm. Of the two leading publications on the subject, viz., those of Macgillivray and Yarrell, the palm for scientific merit must be given to that of the Scotch naturalist, and the increasing value of his works, day by day and year by year, testifies to an appreciation of his labour which would have gladdened and cheered him in his work, had such regard been bestowed upon him during his lifetime.

The Sportsman's British Bird Book (Classic Reprint) by R. Lydekker Pdf

Excerpt from The Sportsman's British Bird Book In certain books on the same subject it has been attempted to draw a distinction between birds which can properly be regarded as British and those which cannot lay a claim to such a privilege. Any such distinction is, however, manifestly an impossibility, and all the species are accordingly treated in serial order, although such as are mere stragglers are not accorded insets of their own in the text.

British Birds in Their Haunts (Classic Reprint) by C. A. Johns Pdf

Excerpt from British Birds in Their Haunts The Author begs expressly to disclaim all idea of proposing the present volume as a substitute for the comprehensive work of Yarrell referred to above, which must always remain the indispensable book of reference for the British Ornithologist. Yet. He does venture to hope that he has provided the lover of nature with a pleasant companion in his country walks, and the young Ornithologist with a Manual which will supply his present need and prepare him for the study of more important works. The student who wishes to discover the name of any bird, of which a specimen happens to be in his possession, is recommended to compare it, first with the characters given in the synopsis OF genera, and then to determine the species by reference to the description in small type which he will find at the head of each chapter.
