Synopsis
Excerpt from Birds of Marlborough, Vol. 10: Being a Contribution to the Ornithology of the District
IT is only now, when I feel at last forced to render an account of the work which I have undertaken and have now completed, that I feel fully its many deficiencies. I have however one consolation I feel that I have done my best to render a tribute of gratitude to the school, where I passed so many pleasant hours, and to the Natural History Society of that school, to which, and to which alone, I owe the formation of tastes, which now prove a continual and endless source of pleasure and occupation to me.
In the hope that it may prove useful to them, I have undertaken this labour of love.
