CANARY BREEDING
AND
MANAGEMENT
FOR AMATEURS.
B Y JEROME.
With Twelve Illustrations.

FIFTH EDITION .

YORKSHIRE AND NORWICH CANARIES.
PREFACE TO FOURTH EDITION.

T HAT in less than four years, three successive Editions (each of 2,500 copies) of this work should have been exhausted, is, I think, practical evidence of its value. Its necessity is obvious to any one who studies the Answers to Queries by its Author, week by week in The Feathered World .
Some verbal alterations have been made in the present edition, advantage has been taken of the type being entirely re-set to slightly alter the position of two articles, and, in order to render the work more useful, three new illustrations have been prepared, and the old ones engraved afresh, with, I think, satisfactory results.
