Wright, Mabel Osgood. Birdcraft. 7th ed. **$2. Macmillan.
A new edition of a book whose “especial value lies in the way in which the principal facts concerning a bird—length, color, song, season, distribution, nest and eggs—are set off in distinct paragraphs, making reference easy and direct. The only change from the old editions is the absence of the badly colored plates of minute figures of birds and the substitution of eighty uncolored plates by Fuertes, including some of this artist’s best work.” (Nation.)
