(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Originally published in 1864. The illustrated contents will prove of great interest to ornithologists, falconers and Shakespeare devotees. The detailed chapters contain: Shakespeare's General Knowledge of Natural History - The Eagle and Larger Birds of Prey - Hawks and Hawking - The Owl - Crows and their Relations - Song Birds - Birds Under Domestication - Game Birds and Quarry of Falconers - Wildfowl and Seafowl - Other Birds etc.Many of the earliest bird books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

British Zoology can have failed to remark the gap which exists between Owen s British Fossil Mammals and Birds, and Bell s British Quadrupeds ;the former dealing chiefly with prehistoric remains, the latter with species which are still existing. Between these two admirable works a connecting link, as it were, seems wanting in the shape of a history of such animals as have become extinct in Britain within historic times, and to supply this is the aim of the present writer. Of the materials collected, during many years of research, some portion has been already utilized in a Lecture delivered by the author before the Hertfordshire Natural History Society, in October, 1879, and in several articles in the Popular Science Eeview and the natural history columns of The Field.

And in yon wither dbracken slair, Slumbered the wolf and shaggy bear; Once on that lone and trackless sod High chiefs and mail-clad warriors trod. And where the roe her bed has made. Their last bright arms the vanqnish dlaid. The days of old have passed away like leaves upon the torrent grey, And all their dreams of joy and woe, Ab in yon eddy melts the sdow ;A nd soon as far and dim behind, We too shall vanish on the wind.

(Excerpt from Ornithology of Shakespeare: Critically Exami...)
Excerpt from Ornithology of Shakespeare: Critically Examined, Explained, and Illustrated Of no other author, perhaps, has more been written than of Shakespeare. Yet whatever other knowledge his commentators professed, few of them appear to have been naturalists, and none, so far as I am aware, have examined his knowledge of Ornithology. An inquiry upon this subject, undertaken in the first instance for my own amusement, has resulted in the bringing together of so much that is curious and entertaining, that to the long list of books already published about Shakespeare, I have been bold enough to add yet another. In so doing, I venture to hope that the reader may so far appreciate the result of my labour as not to consider it superfluous. As regards the treatment of the subject, a word or two of explanation seems necessary. In 1866, from the notes I had then collected, I contributed a series of articles on the birds of Shakespeare to The Zoologist.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Ornithology of Shakespeare Critically examined, explained and illustrated: Look inside the book: The birds therefore have been now divided into certain natural groups, including the foreign and domesticated species, to each of which groups a chapter has been devoted; and I have thought it desirable to give, by way of introduction, a sketch of Shakespeare's general knowledge of natural history and acquaintance with field-sports, as bearing more or less directly on his special knowledge of Ornithology, which I propose chiefly to consider. ...The straight hair and shaven chin which are not found in other portraits having good claims to be considered authentic, and the unnaturally high forehead, which would be caused by the actor's wearing the wig of an old man partially bald, suggest at once that when the original portrait was taken, from which Droeshout engraved, Shakespeare was dressed as if about to sustain a part in which he was thought to excel as an actor.
