~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"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...."
—From an extended review in The Auk.
"A very useful and concise volume, in which is to be found a vast amount of varied information."
