Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book, written by a strong advocate of colonization, is
critical of the efforts of the abolitionists.
The Handbook of the Birds of the World is the first work ever to
illustrate and deal in detail with all the living species of birds.
It is the first work to verbally and visually portray each member
of an entire Class of the Animal Kingdom. Material in each volume
is grouped by families, with an introductory text on general
aspects of the group, generously illustrated with colour
photographs. This is followed by individual species accounts and
their accompanying colour plates illustrating all species,
including all significant sexual and subspecific differences, of
all of the families covered. In addition, all volumes contain a
foreword on a particular ornithological theme.
Glossolalia (paranormal speaking in tongues) and zenolalia
(paranormal speaking in allegedly foreign languages) are features
of many sub-cultures and religions. The most obvious example is
Pentecostalism, where every believer in many denominations is
expected to speak in tongues at least once - the gift in other
cultures being limited to individuals, shamans and mediums. This
book, first published in 1978, surveys the practice of 'speaking in
tongues' in anthropology, Christianity and spiritualism, and
provides an analysis of the psychological, theological and
linguistic considerations of the phenomenon.
