Excerpt from Wild Life of Orchard and Field
This book has grown out of an attempt by the author to make a revised edition of his Friends Worth Knowing, a small volume published by Harper Brothers nearly twenty years ago. This process, however, soon involved so many changes, called for by increase of information in this ever-advancing department of knowledge, that it seemed best to cast the whole matter, old and new, into an entirely fresh form, with illustrations, photographed from life, and a new title.
A large part of this material originally appeared, more or less in its present form, in such periodicals as Harper's Monthly and Harper's Bazar, The Century and St. Nicholas, The Popular Science Monthly, Lippincott's Magazine, The Outlook, The Field, of London, and some others. The author gratefully acknowledges the courtesy of the publishers of these articles in allowing him to reprint them, with such revision as seemed desirable.
