I now began to suspect, that the cries and fears of birds supposed to be fascinated originated in an en- deavour to protect their nest or young. My enquiries have convinced me that this is the case.” http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07394.xml Tue, 28 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07370.xml THIS memoir was read before the American Philosophical Society, and will appear in the next volume of the Transactions of that learned body. In the interim, the author has caused a few copies to be printed for distri- bution, but not for sale. He did not, however, content himself with merely committing his original paper to the press, but considerably altered and somewhat enlarged it. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-07370.xml Tue, 21 Jul 1970 12:00:00 GMT
