Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Birds of Our Rambles: A Companion for the Country
Of the pleasure derived during the process of ac quiring this information concerning our feathered friends, it would be impossible to speak with any exaggeration of its intensity. Of all living creatures that in the wilds do dwell, Birds appeal most forcibly to our notice. They are the most apparent wild creatures of our rambles, and not only so, they are universal in their distribution. No description of scenery is devoid of Birds; they are alike the life of the wilderness, and the charm of more homely country.
The labour of designing and writing the following pages has been no light one; but if it be the humble means of drawing a few fresh students within the charmed circle of Field Ornithology - if it be the means of smoothing away some of the difficulties that beset the novice, then that labour will ever be recalled as a genuine pleasure. With the cordial hope that the reader may experience both pleasure and profit by the perusal, I now leave the Birds of our Rambles to his sympathetic consideration.
