호주의 새들.제1권.The Book of The Birds of Australia, Vol. 1 of 7, by John Gould
PREFACE.
Having in the summer of 1837 brought my work on the “Birds of Europe” to a
successful termination, I was naturally desirous of turning my attention to the
Ornithology of some other region; and a variety of concurring circumstances induced
me to select that of Australia, the Birds of which, though invested with the highest
degree of interest, had been almost entirely neglected. Dr. Shaw, in his “Zoology of
New Holland,” had devoted a few plates to the subject, from specimens collected by
Sir Joseph Banks during the first voyage of Captain Cook; the “Birds of New Holland”
by Lewin comprised not more than twenty-six plates; and figures and descriptions of
a few species were given in the earlier voyages of Phillip, White and Collins, and the
more recent one of King. At a subsequent period the late Mr. Vigors and Dr. Horsfield
commenced an elaborate memoir on the Collection of Australian Birds in the
possession of the Linnean Society; but unfortunately, they did not proceed farther than
the Meliphagidæ, and the non-completion of their labours is the more to be regretted,
inasmuch as the Linnean Society’s collection of Australian birds, at that time the finest
extant, comprised many species collected by Mr. Brown during his voyage with the
celebrated navigator Flinders, and was moreover enriched with some interesting notes
by the late Mr. George Caley, by whom the collection was chiefly formed. Descriptions
of many Australian birds were also included in the works of Latham, Shaw, Cuvier and
Vieillot, as well as in several of the recent French voyages of discovery; still no general
work on the subject had been undertaken, and nearly all that had been recorded by the
various writers above enumerated, had reference almost exclusively to the productions
of New South Wales and Van Diemen’s Land, these being almost the only explored
portions of that great country. In the absence, then, of any general work on the Birds
of Australia, the field was comparatively a new one, and of no ordinary degree of
interest, from the circumstance of its being one of the vifinest possessions of the
British Crown, and from its natural productions being as remarkable for the
anomalous nature of their forms, as for their beauty, and the singularity of their habits.
In the attempt to supply this desideratum I commenced publishing from the materials
then accessible, but soon found, from the paucity of information extant upon the
subject, that it could not be executed in a manner that would be satisfactory to my own
mind or commensurate with the exigencies of science; I therefore determined to
proceed to Australia and personally investigate (so far as a stay of two years would
allow) the habits and manners of its birds in a state of nature. Accordingly in May 1838
I left England, provided, by the liberality of Government, with letters from Lord
Glenelg, at that time Secretary of State for the Colonies, Sir George Grey, Bart., and
Gordon Gairdner, Esq., of the Colonial Office, recommending me to the countenance
and protection of the various Governors, and requesting them to afford me such aid
and assistance in furtherance of my objects as they might have it in their power to
render; similar favours were also granted me by the authorities of the Admiralty, who,
through their Secretary, Sir John Barrow, directed the captains and commanders .
