Product Description
Excerpt from A Descriptive Catalogue of the Raptorial Birds: In the Norfolk and Norwich Museum
In conclusion, I have only to add that, as the following pages contain very little original matter, I have done my best to insure that their contents, if not original, should at least be accurate. With this view I have, as far as possible, abstained from inserting any statements of the correctness of which I have felt at all doubtful - and whenever I have deviated from this rule, I have indicated in the text any doubts which I have entertained.
