Items marked 'M' are drawings "by my own Hand" (by Ruskin), P are photographs, E engravings and A by Ruskin's Assistant, Arthur Burgess.
These are not here catalogued, because I propose that Mr. Gould’s book should eventually form a part of the student’s library, and the frames will then be occupied by drawings. The fine lithographic texture of these prints is not adapted for copying, but entire dependence may be placed on the accuracy of representation; and I believe even these few examples will be greatly useful in exciting the interest of the younger students in ornithology, and especially in the living birds.
