Excerpt from Birds in Town Village Between these two long parts there are five shorter essays which I have retained with little alteration, and these in one or two instances are consequently out of date, especially in what was said with bitterness in the essay on Exotic Birds for Britain anent the feather-wearing fashion and of the London trade in dead birds and the re fusal of women at that time to help us in trying to save the beautiful wild bird life of this country and of the world generally from extermination. Happily, the 'last twenty years of the life and work of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds have changed all that, and it would not now be too much to say that all right-thinking per sons in this country, men and women, are anxious to see the end of this iniquitous traffic.
