Excerpt from The Birds of Our Rambles: A Companion for the Country
The present little volume must be looked upon as an introduction to the study of Field Ornithology, rather than as an exhaustive treatise on the habits of Birds. It has been written with the earnest endeavour to supply what I believe to be a wide-felt want - a handy book about British Birds, so arranged that these creatures may be readily identified in the various haunts they affect. In a subject of this nature the identification of the species is the most important item; and this I have tried to render easy by directing the observer's attention to whatever is most likely to attract his notice, or to be impressed upon his mind - the notes, the general appearance, or peculiarity of habit, being seized upon to introduce the birds to him. Then, having once done that, I have sought still further to stimulate his interest in them by supplying some of the most salient features in the economy of each.
