The Humane Idea: A Brief History of Man's Attitude Toward the Other Animals, and of the Development of the Humane Spirit Into Organized Societies - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
Vl Ypurpose in this small volume is to be of service, particularly to the ordinary humane worker. Scattered over the country are many deeply interested in the cause that has for its aim the prevention of cruelty to animals and the fostering of such a sentiment as will ultimately make prosecution for cruelty unnecessary. Not a few of these workers are called upon from time to time to speak upon some phase of the subject. Often they are far from public libraries where such books might be obtained as those which would be of assistance to them. It has seemed to me that a brief, yet general survey of the history of the humane idea would be found useful. It was Mr. Henry S. Salt s Animals Rights, which I read many years ago, that first indicated to me the direction in which to look for material upon this theme. To Mr. Salt I am much indebted, not only for what he has so effectively done himself, but for the names of authors to whom he has called attention. To the Countess Cesaresco I am also under no little obligation.
