Excerpt from The Birds of Norfolk, Vol. 1 of 2: With Remarks on Their Habits, Migration, and Local Distribution The extreme richness of the Ornithology of the county appears to have early attracted the notice of Norfolk, naturalists, and fortunately the records of their observations are to a great extent preserved to us, though scattered amongst the "Transactions" of Learned Societies, and other publications, not always accessible to the general reader. To combine a resume of the facts thus handed down to us, with the result of personal observations extending over several years, was the idea that first originated the present work, and there is, perhaps, no better motive for incurring the labours and doubtful honours of author- ship than the desire to supply to others a want that has been personally experienced. Chronologically arranged, the sources from whence my materials have been chiefly collected, are as follow :- "Extracts from the Household and Privy Purse Accounts of the Lestranges, of Hunstanton, from 1519 to 1578." [Published by D. Gurney, Esq., in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Antiquaries, for 1833.] About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
