<p><font size="7">I</font>n 1809, Bewick published a demy edition
both the <i>Land Birds</i> and the <i>Water Birds</i> together.
This fourth edition of the <i>Land Birds</i> was very close to
that of 1805 with no additional figures, and the number of
vignettes was reduced to 97, as compared to the 106 appearing in
the previous edition. The reduction in the number of vignettes
was caused by the printing of the text in such away that it
continued to the following page with the next figure of a bird
appearing below it, followed by its descriptive text. This more
economical way of printing used less paper and was the norm until
the 1826 edition.
