Four volumes bound in two. Small 4to. viii, 160; viii, 160; viii, 160; viii, 176 pp. Numerous color plates, index. Original half dark red morocco, blind-rules, raised bands, gilt-spine titles. Very good+. Illustrated by Archibald Thornburn, Eliza Turck and others. "Familiar Wild Birds is considered a seminal work of ornithology (the study of birds) as it contains scientific details about each species to help with recognition, including size, colouring, and number of eggs â" these are often paired with advice on how to capture and keep the birds as pets, a practice that has been thankfully left in the past. Each bird is also given the 'Swaysland' treatment with funny anecdotes and observations on each bird's personality that make the book accessible to a wide audience. While the Starling is 'more or less gregarious', the Robin is 'an efficient member of [the] self-constituted bird police', and Swaysland even warns that the Jay is 'naturally inquisitive and somewhat mischievous, and should therefore be carefully watched'. The house sparrow, on the other hand, is 'thoroughly republican in its nature, considering itself to have an equal right of existence with other members of this creation' â" a big personality for such a small bird! Common birds that you might recognise in the pages of this book include Jay, Kestrel, Magpie, Robin and Starling." / "There are 160 chromolithograph plates over the series, one for each bird, with a handy note to explain the size of the bird in comparison with the picture. Each chapter also contains black and white wood-cut prints for details like eggs. Archibald Thorburn was considered one of the great Victorian nature painters, and Eliza Turck was similarly distinguished having exhibited at the Royal Academy and the International Exhibition in 1871. Together they bring the joy of Swaysland's writing to technicolour life." â" Glasgow Life.…
