  • 《英国鸟类史》(A History of British Birds)是英国木版画家创作的一本鸟类图鉴,分两卷出版。第一卷《陆鸟》(Land Birds)出版于1797年。第二卷《水鸟》(Water Birds)出版于1804年。1821年作者还出版了附录。其第一卷中的文字由比维克的老师拉尔夫·贝尔比(Ralph Beilby)撰写,第二卷则由比维克亲自撰写。书中的插画全部由比维克完成,也因其精美出名。 比维克并不是专业的鸟类学家,但书中不乏专业知识,如鸟类的学名、命名人,使其成为一部很好用的图鉴。这部著作在当时非常有名,于夏綠蒂·勃朗特的《简·爱》中反复出现。它在后世亦被视为杰作。 (zh)
