""I am making a collection of birds myself. I have been at it ever since I was a boy."" (Mrs. Tilley smiled.) ""There are two or three very rare ones I have been hunting for these five years. I mean to get them on my own ground if they can be found.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
