Cassinia A Bird Annual PDF Download

Excerpt from Cassinia: A Bird Annual American Ornithology owe more by way of personal and financial encouragement than to George Ord. If Wilson had not enjoyed this loyal patronage during his life, or had been de prived of so talented and yet so modest a biographer to finish his uncompleted labors, we can hardly estimate the resultant loss to both the student and the lover of birds in the present generation. The history of Ord's editorial labors in Wilson's behalf are better known to-day than perhaps any other of his literary efforts. For a history of the additional volumes and editions of the American Ornithology which he edited, the reader is referred to Dr. Walter Faxon's article in the eighteenth volume of The Auk, 1901, pages 216 - 218.
