 Auk, The: Orinthologen-Briefe des 20 Jahrhunderts
This section may be surprising to some because it commences with two systematists who are little known to ornithologists and completely unknown to historians of science, namely Henry Seebohm of the United Kingdom and Count Hans Berlepsch of Germany.
Seebohm, a wealthy amateur ornithologist who assembled and studied a large collection of birds, was influenced in the 1870s by Darwin and by the trinominal nomenclature of the North American school of Baird, Coues, and others.
Seebohm was clearly one of the major founders of the new approach to avian systematics in Europe, which Haffer designated as the Seebohm-Hartert School.

 REVIEWS
Seebohm, a wealthy amateur ornithologist who as- sembled and studied a large collection of birds, was influenced in the 1870s by Darwin and by the trinom- inal nomenclature of the North American school of Baird, Coues, and others.
His 1887 mono- graph of the Charadriidae was an early analysis of the evolutionary history of an avian family based on the idea of geographic speciation.
Seebohm was clearly one of the major founders of the new ap- proach to avian systematics in Europe, which Haffer designated as the Seebohm-Hartert School.

Late 19th- and early 20th-century English writings on nature are known for their high coloration and elegiac tone, where nothing is left unsaid and the din of words can obscure the subject.
The anthologydivided into sections on landscape, birds, beasts, and on insects and fishbuzzes with the work of John Clare and Philip Henry Gosse, Richard Jeffries, Henry Seebohm, and Charles Darwin.

 Cutlery and Cutlers
Much more might be said in a longer article than can be permitted here, of the cutlery trade of Sheffield, which, alhough at Ieast six centuries old, may, if its custodians are wise, outlive six centuries more.
" You may depend upon it, " said Mr Henry Seebohm, a leading Sheffield steel manufacturer, to an assembly which included Sir Henry Bessemer himself, in the London Cutlers' Hall on March 2nd, 1881, "there is nothing so dear as cheap steel; " and the same thing may be said of cheap cutlery.
Sheffield has been forced into producing cheap cutlery, because the world abounds in persons who labour under the hallucination that because they can buy German scissors for sixpence a pair they have been scandalously cheated in being charged a shilling for thc same article from Sheffield.
