Description

CURIOUS CREATURES.
187
hotter Climats ; yet oft-times, in the Northern Countries,
Swallows are drawn forth, by chance by Fishermen, like
a lump cleaving together, where they went amongst the
Reeds, after the beginning of Autumn, and there fasten
themselves bill to bill, wing to wing, feet to feet. For
it is observed, that they, about that time ending their
most sweet note, (?) do so descend, and they fly out
peaceably after the beginning of the Spring, and come
to their old Nests, or else they build new ones by their
natural care. Now that lump being drawn forth by
ignorant young men (for the old Fishermen that are
acquainted with it, put it in again) is carryed and laid
on the Sea Shore, and by the heat of the Sun, the Lump
is dissolved, and the Swallows begin to fly, but they last
but a short time because they were not set at liberty by
being taken so soon, but they were made captive by it.
It hapneth also in the Spring, when they return freely,
and come to their old Nests, or make new ones, if a very
cold Winter come upon them, and much snow fall, they

will all dye ; that all that Summer you shall see none of

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
