Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Indigenous and Migratory, Vol. 3: Including Their Organization, Habits, and Relations; Remarks on Classification and Nomenclature; An Account of the Principal Organs of Birds, and Observations Relative to Practical Ornithology The Engravings on Wood, which I think superior to those in the preceding volumes, have been executed by Mr bruce, with the exception of a few by Mr sclater; and those on steel, in the present, as well as the other volumes, by Mr gellatly. The drawings for both have been made by myself, in every case from the objects which they are intended to represent. Notwithstanding the labour and expense of preparing these volumes for the public, I am authorized to say that the fourth, containing the waders, a great part of which is ready for the compositor, will be published before the third has been well dispersed. In it and the fifth or last, I promise descriptions equally correct, and probably more interesting, as many of the aquatic birds have been very carefully studied by me, under the most favourable circumstances.
