BIRDS OF BRITAIN BY J. LEWIS BONHOTE

CONTAINING ONE HUNDRED FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOUR, SELECTED BY H. E. DRESSER FROM HIS "BIRDS IN EUROPE"

_Square Demy 8vo, Cloth, Gilt Top_

Price =20s.= net

(_Post Free, Price 20s. 6d._)

SOME PRESS OPINIONS

"It can in general be thoroughly relied on for reference, especially on the questions of measurement and distribution, and we do not know of any

## book covering the whole ground which could be more safely recommended to

the young Naturalist, keen to learn the secret of identification."--_The Times._

"His work is greatly in advance of many that profess to treat of our country's birds and omit precisely those about which we need information the most; while the general public will not fail to appreciate a book specially addressed to it."--_The Guardian._

"A book on birds is always sure of a welcome, and when the book is so comprehensive and so attractive it needs only to be commended. The text is lucid and to the point. For purposes of identification this is one of the best books of the kind that we have seen."--_The Tribune._

"The latest book about birds will appeal to all who are interested in this fascinating study, and who need a work which will supply them with

## particulars of species which occur in Great Britain, and enable them to

identify them. Mr. Bonhote is an ornithologist of repute, and his notes have been taken 'at first hand, straight from Nature.' The illustrations in Mr. Bonhote's work are a feature of note. The selection has been well made, although, perhaps, such familiar friends as the robin and the blackbird might well have been omitted in favour of some others less well known."--_Westminster Gazette._

"The selection has been made with the finest discrimination, and the result is a very handsome bird-book. Mr. Bonhote has done his share of the work in the most creditable manner. The notices of the birds are necessarily brief, but a great many of them bear the impress of personal observation."--_Country Life._

"It is a splendid collection of 100 pictures in colour, accompanied by really valuable notes. Mr. Bonhote not only faithfully describes a bird, but tells us where by field or wood or hillside we are likely to meet with it, and by what conspicuous mark or action we can most easily recognise it."--_Christian World._

"The book is well printed and bound, the pages have wide margins, and so far as English information is concerned, it leaves little to be desired. Its value lies in its original descriptions of bird life and habits, and for these we cordially welcome it."--_Irish Naturalist._

SOME PRESS OPINIONS

"HOW MARVELLOUSLY FAITHFUL HIS WORK IS. EVERY ONE WHO KNOWS EGYPT WILL SEE IN THE SEVENTY-FIVE EXQUISITE PAINTINGS WHICH MAKE HIS BOOK A PERFECT TREASURE OF BEAUTY.... NO SERIES OF DRAWINGS HAS EVER CONVEYED TO US SO PERFECT AN IMPRESSION OF EGYPTIAN SCENERY AS THESE."--_SATURDAY REVIEW._

"THIS IS BEYOND ALL QUESTION THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOK ON MODERN EGYPT THAT WE HAVE EVER SEEN...."--_THE SPECTATOR._

"WE HAVE SELDOM READ A BETTER DESCRIPTION OF NATIVE LIFE, OR ONE MORE EVIDENTLY WRITTEN FROM CLOSE OBSERVATION.... FEW MORE ATTRACTIVE GIFT BOOKS HAVE FALLEN INTO OUR HANDS OF LATE THAN THIS SPLENDIDLY ILLUSTRATED VOLUME, THE TEXT OF WHICH IS IN PERFECT HARMONY WITH THE PICTURES."--_STANDARD._

"THIS IS A MAGNIFICENT PRODUCTION OF HIS, ABOUNDING WITH FINE PICTURES, BEAUTIFULLY REPRODUCED, AND TEEMING WITH FINE DESCRIPTIVE TOUCHES AND BRIGHT ANECDOTAL MATTER."--_BLACK AND WHITE._

"RARELY CAN THIS OLD, OLD COUNTRY HAVE RECEIVED MORE BEAUTIFUL HOMAGE THAN HERE--THE HAPPILY INSPIRED WORK OF A TRUE ARTIST REVEALING HER COUNTLESS CHARMS."--_THE BOOKMAN._

"WE HAVE SEEN NOTHING MORE PERFECT OF THEIR KIND FOR MANY A LONG DAY THAN SOME OF THESE LOVELY ILLUSTRATIONS, IN WHICH EVERY PHASE OF LIFE AND NATURE IN THE LAND OF THE PYRAMIDS IS RENDERED WITH UNFAILING SKILL AND CHARM."--_WESTMINSTER GAZETTE._
