Excerpt from Canaries: A Complete and Practical Guide to the Breeding, Exhibiting and General Management of These Popular Birds The Canary Fancy is progressive, and all the large works hitherto written are now out of date, and so far as I know are also out of print, thus Canaries is the only work that comes to aid the breeder when he has advanced beyond the stages when a small initiatory hand book is a help and guide. It is only because of the encouragement given me by the manner in which my fellow fanciers have received my previous efforts as an author that I have undertaken this work. In sending it forth I am conscious of its many failings, but, in the space allotted to me, I have tried to do my best, and I can only hope that what I have done will help many young fanciers to attain success. From my many friends in the Fancy I would ask that they extend to Canaries the same appreciation they have given to my more humble efforts to help the Fancy forward.
