I PUBLISH these lectures at present roughly, in the form in whichthey were delivered,—(necessarily more brief and broken than thatw^hich may be permitted when time is not limited.)—because I knowthat some of their hearers wished to obtain them for immediatereference. Ultimately, I hope, they will be completed in an illus-trated volume, containing at least six lectures, on the Robin, theSwallow, the Chough, the Lark, the Swan, and the Sea-gull. Butmonths pass by me now, like days; and my work remains only indesign. I think it better, therefore, to let the lectures appear sepa-rately, with provisional wood-cuts, afterwards to be bettered, or re-placed by more finished engravings. The illustrated volume, if everfinished, will cost a guinea ; but these separate lectures a shilling, or,if long, one shilling and sixpence each. The guineas worth will,perhaps, be the cheaper book in the end ; butlovesmeinielectu00ruskin
