About this book
The prefatory note presents a miscellaneous collection of essays whose papers were written at intervals over the preceding fifteen years, gathered into a volume to make ready for a new departure. The account of singing-birds argues that the birds favor human neighborhoods because hawks and owls are rarer and food is more abundant. The observer qualifies the discussion of woodland birds by personal experience, reporting fewer singing-bird voices farther into the solitary woods.
The discussion of the fine arts argues that attempts to reproduce bygone excellence through external imitation or rules of analytic criticism have produced artificial rather than artistic results. The account treats the life of a work of art as a joint product of the artist and the time.
