Simian family has had great fascinations for me; and to my little friends with tails, thisS eries of odd Notes for they cannot lay claim to a higher title is respectfully dedicated. To literary merit this handbook lays no claim whatever not further, perhaps, than that of being original in matter and theme. All other lines of the Fancy have been well threshed out by a number of experienced writers. Monkeys have been overlooked; and for want of a better book to supply its place, this is edged into the gap, and handed over to the fancier, who may overlook its faults in its help. Whatever credit may be deserving is due to FRANCIS GUY, Esq., of Sudbury, at whose instigation I made close acquaintanceship with quite a colony of monkeys and conceived the idea of scribbling about them.
