Excerpt from Francis Orpen Morris: A Memoir An author's memoir may sometimes be said to be in a great measure written in his lifetime. This was, perhaps, especially true in the case of my father. To so many, however, he was known only as a popular writer on natural history, and birds in particular, that I have been induced to write this sketch of his life, which may give those to whom his name is thus familiar, as well as others, a fuller account of his many-sided activities than they might else have gained. While it is clear that a son, as such, is from one point of view the best-qualified person to write a memoir of his father, so from another is he the least so. Still, if the close ties of kinship have at times led me to say less or more than I might otherwise have done, I cannot but cherish the hope that any shortcomings and oversteppings may on this ground be indulgently regarded.
