Présentation de l'éditeur :
During these days of ceaseless conflict, audety and unrest among men, when at times it begins to look as if the Caucasian leally is played out, perhaps the English-reading world wi Uturn with a sigh of relief to the contemplation of wfld animals. At all events, the autlior has found this diverston in his favorite field mentally agreeable and refreshing. In comparison with some of the allied men who now are cursing this earth by their baneful presence, the so-called lower animals do not seem so very low after alll As a friend of the animals, this is a very proper time in which to compare them with men. Furthermore, if thinking men and women desire to know the leading facts concerning the intelligence of wild animals, it will be well to consider them now, before the bravest and the best of the wild creatures of the earth go down and out under the merc Qess and inexorable steam roller that we call Civilization. The intelligence and the ways of wild animals are large subjects. Concerning them I do not offer this volume as an all-in-a Uproduction. Out of the great mass of interesting things that might have been included, I have endeavored to select and set forth only enough to make a good series of sample exhibits, without involving the general reader in a hopelessly large collection of details. The most serious question has been: What shall be left out? Mr. A R. Spofford, first Librarian of Congress, used to dedare that Books are made from books ;but I call the reader to bear witness that this volume is not a mass of quotations. A quoted authority often can be disputed, and for this reason the author has found considerable satisfaction in idying chiefly upon his own testimony.
