Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gentleman's Magazine Library, Vol. 16: Being a Classified Collection of the Chief Contents of the Gentleman's Magazine From 1731 to 1868; Ecclesiology
At page I 37 will be found an extremely interesting note on the legend of the pelican billing the blood out of her breast to feed her young ones. The extract from Wither's Emblems on the same page, will at once suggest the appropriateness of choosing the figure of this bird as a support for a church reading-desk.
