Having been frequently asked, for several years past, bynumerous friends of science, both in America and Europe, topresent to them and to the public a work on the Ornithology ofour country, similar to my large work, but of such dimensions,and at such price, as would enable every student or lover of natureto place it in his Library, and look upon it during his leisure hoursas a pleasing companion—I have undertaken the task with thehope that those good friends and the public will receive theBirds of America, in their present miniature form, with thatfavour and kindness they have already evinced toward one whonever can cease to admire and to study with zeal and the mostheartfelt reverence, the wonderful productions of an AlmightyCreator.
