Excerpt from The World's Birds: A Simple and Popular Classification, of the Birds of the World
Dr. Mitchell's multifarious duties have put a stop to further joint undertaking, but I hereby wish to acknowledge my great indebtedness to him for his assistance, and to express my belief that whatever merits the present work may be found to possess, they would have been much greater had he been my coadjutor throughout. As it is, he must not be held responsible for any statements made or opinions expressed in the work as it now stands.
The illustrations are mostly from living specimens now or formerly in the collection of the London Zoo logical Society, and they have been selected as far as possible with a View to giving life-like representations of birds belonging to families altogether unfamiliar, or of unfamiliar species of well-known families, rather than the repeated illustrations of well-known British birds so familiar in works on general ornithology.
