In editing the present edition I have carefully preserved all Mr. Johns' delightful personal stories and his descriptions of the birds and their daily life in their haunts, but I have brought the scientific arrangement of the species up to date, as well as altered the nomenclature, in accordance with present-day knowledge and use. We begin with the Passeres because modern ornithologists are now nearly all agreed that this order attains the highest Avian development. I have rectified statements as to the local distribution of various species which, with the progress of time and local changes, no longer apply, and have added facts here and there which I considered of some value. The faithful and beautiful presentments made by Mr. William Foster for this new edition have no need of our commendation to the public
