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.
