HISTORICAL    NOTE 

^7)IRD-LORE  began  publication  on  January  1,  1899,  as  "An 
jD  Illustrated  Ri-Monthly  Magazine  Devoted  to  the  Study 
and  Protection  of  Birds." 

The  title-pages  of  the  first  five  volumes  show  that  it  was 
edited  by  Frank  M.  Chapman  (its  originator),  assisted,  as  to 
the  Audubon  Department,  by  Mabel  Osgood  Wright.  On  the 
title-pages  of  Volumes  VI  to  XII  Mrs.  Wright's  name  is  ac- 
companied by  that  of  William  Dutcher  as  co-editor.  The  title- 
page  of  Volume  XIII  reads:  "Edited  by  Frank  M.  Chapman. 
Contributing  Editor,  Mabel  Osgood  Wright.  Audubon  Depart- 
ment edited  by  Alice  Hall  Walter  and  William  Dutcher.  In 
Volumes  XIV  and  XV  the  name  of  T.  Gilbert  Pearson  appears 
in  place  of  that  of  William  Dutcher. 

From  the  beginning  to  the  end  of  Volume  XII  the  magazine 
bore  the  imprint  of  the  MacMillan  Company  of  New  York ; 
since  that  time  (1911)  it  has  been  published  by  D.  Appleton  & 
Company  of  New  York.  It  has  always  been  printed,  however, 
at  the  Mount  Pleasant  Press  in  Harrisburg,  Pennsylvania. 

The  magazine  has  continued  from  the  first  to  be  published 
only  SIX  times  a  year,  and  the  price  (one  dollar  a  year,  fifteen 
cents  a  number)  has  remained  the  same,  although  the  size  of 
the  volumes  has  been  increased  from  206  pages  in  Volume  I 
to  498  pages  in  Volume  XV.  Its  publication  and  popularity  still 
continue  and  are  likely  to  do  so  for  many  years  to  come.
