Essays on Natural History, Chiefly Ornithology (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Essays on Natural History, Chiefly Ornithology

The volume which I now present to an in dulgent public, is an unsolicited donation to the widow of my poor departed friend Mr. London, whose vast labours in the cause of Science have insured to him an imperishable reputation. If this trifling present on my part shall be the medium of conveying one single drop of balm to the wound, which it has pleased Heaven lately to inflict on the heart of that excellent lady, my time will have been well employed.
