Book Description
Excerpt from Coloured Figures of the Birds of the British Islands Being honoured by a request, from a quarter which made compliance a duty as irresistible as it was gratifying, that I should write a Preface to this work, I feel I cannot do better than give some account of its originator, who was for nearly forty-five years though with occasional breaks - one of my most constant, and, I may add, most valued correspondents. Born in Stanhope Street, Mayfair, on the 18th of March, 1833, Thomas Littleton Powys was the eldest son of Thomas Atherton Powys, third Lord Lilford, and Mary Elizabeth, only surviving daughter of Henry Richard Fox, third Lord Holland, and Ehzabeth Vassall his wife a couple sufficiently well known to all readers of social or political history. On his fathers side I need not trace his ancient ancestry further back than to Sir Thomas Powys, who in 1686 was Solicitor-General to James II., and in 1713 under Anne a Judge of the Queens Bench, an office from which he was removed on the accession of the House of Hanover.
