Excerpt from Pheasants in Covert and Aviary
IT will, I think, he admitted by all readers of this work, that very little excuse need be offered for its introduction to the public, or rather to those interested in matters appertaining to Pheasants, either for the Covert or for the Aviary, a title to which the present publication answers. It is somewhat surprising to note the small amount of literature that has appeared in volume form concerning Pheasants and their general management. As far as the writer is aware, there are only one or two manuals published relating to a description of the Phasianidae and their management, the most notable book being Elliot's valuable Monograph on the Phasianidaz, a work that now approaches three figures to purchase it. Be this as it may, the Author is confident in believing that the task he has undertaken will find adequate reward by giving such infor mation as may be useful to those engaged in preservation of Pheasants - ih fact, to all sporting men interested in this the Prince of Birds. In conclusion, the Author desires to express his thanks to the proprietors Of the Gamekeeper.
