Excerpt from Field Observations on British Birds
The intention of the writer of this foreword is merely to give, in a few lines, a slight sketch of the Author of these Essays from an intimate and personal standpoint. This may, perhaps, increase the interest in the scientific side of his character, as reflected in these pages.
