This Is A New Release Of The Original 1872 Edition.
With Descriptions Of Their Plumage, Habits, Food, Song, Nests,
Eggs, Times of Arrival and Departure. This is among the earliest
major Canadian works about birds. It is the first comprehensive
account of Canadian birds written by a Canadian and published in
Canada. In his Preface, Ross states: "My object in presenting this
volume to the public is in some measure to supply a want long felt
by those interested in the study of Canadian Ornithology."His work
went through two editions with the first appearing in 1871 and the
second, in 1872, updated to include 79 species found in Manitoba
and British Columbia, newly admitted to the Dominion of Canada. The
second edition is divided into an Introduction, six chapters which
describe 296 bird species divided into six avian Orders, and
another that adds 79 extra western species found in Manitoba and
British Columbia. Finally, there are two six-page lists, one of
scientific names and one of common or vernacular bird's names. Ross
was elected a Fellow of the Linnaean Society of London and of the
British Association for the Advancement of Science. In 1875 Ross
resumed practicing medicine in Ontario, eschewing the use of drugs,
alcohol, and even vaccination in his practice, and for seven years
he crusaded for physical and moral reform.--C. Stuart Houston.
