Opinions of the Press.

"To the reverend gentleman who gives us this book we owe much; it is
so admirably done as to be thoroughly perfect as far as the subject
goes. He tells us everything about the canary, and in the pleasantest
manner, enlivening his story with many anecdotes. It is written in a
tender and loving spirit; lucky are the birds who have so sympathetic
and considerate a master, and fortunate is the master who owns so
many beautiful birds; for the charming pictures that decorate the
volume are so many portraits of '_the author's own pets_.' Mr. Smith
is not a writer who has produced a book 'to order;' he has obviously
loved his task. Years of thought and study, and familiarity with his
subject in all its bearings, have enabled him to tell us everything
needful to be known by those who keep the bird--one or many; how best
to be its friend and its doctor; how to improve without impairing
nature; how, in a word, the extremest amount of enjoyment may be
derived from the cultivation of those delicious little inmates of our
homes. The book is a delightful book; it may give pleasure to those
who do not keep the birds; but to those who do it will be
indispensable."--_Art Journal._

"A tasteful little book, written evidently by an enthusiast in the
study of the beautiful and innocent creatures whose habits he
describes. It is likely to make the canary a greater favourite than
ever."--_Morning Star._

"A large amount of pleasure combined with much curious information,
may be easily enjoyed by families or young folks who choose to follow
Mr. Smith's directions. The book is written in a pleasing style, and
will take its place as a popular manual and an ornament for the
drawing-room table."--_The Student._

"The style in which the author details the various incidents
connected with his little pets is so pleasant and so alluring, that
really one feels inclined on laying down the book to rush out
forthwith to the nearest dealer, and without delay secure the
necessary material for the formation of an aviary."--_City Press._

"This volume contains matter valuable to all who are interested in
its subject; while to those who have never paid attention to the
canary the work can hardly fail to open up a source of attraction.
The reverend author is an enthusiastic lover of the bird, and the
result of his experience should find favour with all who share his
enthusiasm."--_Glasgow Herald._
