~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It is far and away the best book ever written about birds … the best
'all-round' book we have ever seen; the one that best answers the purposes of
all readers; the one which conveys the most information per thousand ems; the
one which is freest from misstatements of any sort; the one which is most cautious
and conservative in expression of opinions where opinions may reasonably differ;
the one which is the most keenly critical, yet most eminently just in rendering
adverse decisions…."
