To The Queen’s Most Gracious Majesty

Madam,

The Author of these volumes ventured

To solicit for them Your Majesty’s patronage, being persuaded

that Your Majesty felt interest in a study which both tends

to promote the refinement of those who apply themselves to

it, and bears witness to the Glory of God.

However imperfectly the work has been executed, it cannot

but in some degree, from the very nature of the subject,

advance these ends.

It is, therefore, humbly dedicated to Your Majesty, in

accordance with the permission so graciously given.

Your Majesty’s

Loyal and Dutiful Subject and Servant,

Francis Orpen Morris

Hi: I hope you enjoy looking at even just some of these beautiful bird prints.

www.birdcheck.co.uk was conceived because I believed that many people around the world would also enjoy looking at them, and I was right.

It soon became evident that many thousands of people from around the world have looked at BirdCheck, clocking up well over a  million hits.
