William Yarrell [SEP] Works
Yarrell's major works were "A History of British Fishes" (1836) and "A History of British Birds" (1843), the latter having the same title as the popular book by Thomas Bewick, published from 1797 to 1804, but with a different set of wood-engravings. "British Birds" was first published "in thirty-seven parts of three sheets each, at intervals of two months; the first Part was issued in July 1837 and the last in May 1843." The sheets were then collected into two volumes, with the addition of "many occurrences of rare birds and of some that were even new to Britain". The additional birds were listed and briefly described in the Preface and "the new subjects have been engraved on single leaves, so paged, that the bookbinder may insert these separate leaves among the birds of the genus to which each respectively belongs." "British Birds" was illustrated with drawings by Alexander Fussell.
