Excerpt from Curiosities of Natural History, Vol. 1 of 2
In the following pages will be found some of my experiences and observations during the last few years.
The subjects treated are certainly various, but I have always made it a rule to observe and learn wherever I go.
For more than seven years I gave to "The Field" newspaper my best labours, by contributing weekly articles to its columns. Of these contributions, by legal agreement, I retain the copyright, and therefore reproduce from that journal selections from my writings.
Owing to the treatment I received, my connection with "The Field" has now entirely ceased.
I beg to offer my thanks to the proprietors of the "Leisure Hour," "Household Words," and "Chambers' Journal" for their kindness in allowing me to reproduce some of my articles which originally appeared in their columns.
