POPULAR BRITISH ORNITHOLOGY;
COMPRISING
A familiar and technical description
of the Birds of the British Isles.
By P. H. GOSSE,
Author of 'The Ocean,' 'The Birds of Jamaica,' &c.
_In twelve chapters, each being the Ornithological lesson for the month._
"Goes over every month of the year, figures the birds naturally in
painted colours, describes them and their habits well, and is a
capital manual for youthful naturalists."--_Literary Gazette._
"To render the subject of ornithology clear, and its study
attractive, has been the great aim of the author of this beautiful
little volume. It contains descriptions of all our British birds,
with the exception of those which may be considered in the light
of stragglers, and which are not likely to fall in the way of
the young naturalist, for whose use this work is intended. It is
embellished by upwards of 70 plates of British birds beautifully
coloured."--_Morning Herald._
