Every Day in the Country by Harrison Weir was dedicated to his brother, John Jenner Weir. 'In fond remembrance of many happy hours, that they, when boys,have roamed the fields and woods together....' The book was published in NY by arrangement with Orange Judd Company around 1885-7. It is a delightful little book with over 400 illustrations...one for each day. I have a copy which is falling apart, but beautiful. The illustrations are of birds, flora and fauna. John wsas an orthinologist. (British)
