Love's Meinie (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): Lectures on Greek and English Birds

by John Ruskin

Overview

“Meinie” is an old English word for “many”—“in the sense of ‘a many’ persons attending one, as bridesmaids,” the author explains in a preface. This 1873 work looks at avian life through the eyes of both a poet and scientist, compiling lectures delivered at Oxford on the robin, the swallow, and the dabchick.
