    pilation from standard works on natural history , bat is the fruit of personal observation of and residence among the birds in their own homes .

    As it is unquestionably true that you must live among a nation before you can understand its habits and its character , so is it evident that

    the true way to arrive at a clear knowledge of the feathered tribes is do so as Mr . Dixon has doneand to study them in wood and grore day

    after , day and year after year . The graphic way in which the anthor describes the proceedings of his friends gives a special attractiveness to his

    writing , and he not only accurately sets forth the distinctive features of each bird , but he tellsof their ways of livingitheir — foodf their — song —i -notes — — -- their _ __

    needlessly crowded with * jaw -breaking names / have repelled rather than attracted students , and he asserts that * no person can form the slightest

    idea of the habits of birds and animals from books written by such persons . ' The volume , which has many capital illustrations , closes with

    a chapter of useful hints to bird collectors , and as to the use of instruments in their dissection . From Messrs . Sampson Itow , Marston , & Co . —
