Excerpt from New England Bird Life Being a Manual of New England Ornithology, Vol. 2: Revised and Edited From the Manuscript of Winfrid A. Stearns, Member of the Nuttall Ornithological Club Etc
Apology is due that portion of the public which may be interested in "New England Bird Life" for the delay which has occurred in the preparation and publication of the concluding volume of this treatise.
In November, 1880, when, the revision of Mr. Steams' manuscript having been made through Oscines, the first volume had gone to press, the editor was directed by the War Department to repair to Arizona and take up the routine duties of a medical officer of the army; and it was several months before he could free himself from this annoyance by resigning his commission. It being clearly impracticable to do any literary or scientific work under such circumstances, preparation of the manuscript for the press was necessarily suspended at the point it had then reached. Proofs of the portion already in the printers hands having been read by the editor in Arizona, Part I., embracing Oscines, was published upon his return to Washington in September, 1881.
