Excerpt from Illustrations of British Ornithology, Vol. 1 In this latter respect, I trust candid readers will not charge against me as a fault the large share of egotism that seems to pervade this volume; of two evils, I certainly would rather chuse to rest under this imputation, than that of being a downright compiler. As to the style, I have endeavoured, as far as lay in my power, to unite conciseness and perspicuity with that plain didactic manner in which I conceive all works on scientific subjects should be written.

Excerpt from Illustrations of British Ornithology, Vol. 2 In the system so ably developed by Mr Vigors, in his Treatise on the Affinities which connect the Orders and Families of Birds, this constitutes his fourth Order, being analogous to the Grall of Latham and others, and holding the intermediate station between the Rasores or Gallinaceous Birds, and the Natatores or true Aquatics. In addition to the various genera of the order Grall of other systems, which was placed at the head of the second great Division or Aves Aquatics, it contains some of the genera arranged in the Order Pinnatipedes of Latham, as Fulica, Phalaropus, &c. and also others which, from the development of the membrane connecting the toes, had been included amongst the Palmipedes or Swimmers, but whose real affinities clearly point them out as more intimately connected with the members of this Order; such are the Genera Plicenicopterus, Recurvirostra, &c.

Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 1 The publication of the late Mr. Yarrell's "History of British Birds" was begun in July 1837, and finished in May 1843. The merits of the work having been at once fully recognized, a Second Edition was called for in 1845, and then a Third, which last appeared in 1856, but a few months before its author's death. A large impression of each has been sold, and the work has been generally and deservedly regarded as the standard authority on British Ornithology. A New Edition is now demanded, not only by the public at large, but by many who possess the other issues, and a few remarks on the mode in which it is proposed to be conducted may not be out of place. The Second and Third Editions, with the exception of some few though not unimportant additions and alterations (to be presently mentioned more particularly), were, as a whole, mere reprints of the First, which, as has been already said, appeared some thirty years ago. Since that time, it is no exaggeration to say that the literature of the subject has been nearly doubled, while, even since the publication of the last Edition, an extraordinary increase has been made in the knowledge of our British Birds. Very many of the species respecting which little was actually known in 1856, have been traced by competent observers to their breeding-quarters, and their habits ascertained, and, in some instances, minutely recorded.

Excerpt from British Birds, Vol. 1: An Illustrated Magazine Devoted to the Birds on the British List; June, 1907-May, 1908 IT was not without some misgivings that we ventured to launch the first volume of british birds, but the hearty support and kindly encouragement which we have received during the year have justified our conviction that there was an undoubted gap in the literature of British Ornithology, and that a Magazine entirely devoted to the study of British birds was required.

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 History of British Birds, Vol. 1: With Coloured Illustrations of Their Eggs Interbreeding may or may not mean cross-breeding. Wherever the interbreeding which habitually takes place between the individuals of a species has not ceased, any differences between them can only be subspecific. Subspecies may be defined as groups in which the interbreeding which habitually takes place between individuals in a Species has not yet ceased, but takes place along the whole line of its geographical distribution, though seldom between the two extremes.
