Excerpt from Elements of Ornithology: Prepared for the Use of Schools and Colleges The following Primer, or First Book of Ornithology, has been Third Book of Natural History, because it is the third of the series, and, like its predecessors, is only designed to initiate those who wish to 'study this very interesting branch of Natural History.
