Good lightly spotted orig. azure cloth. Bevelled edges. 250, [1] p.; 19.5 cm. [First printed in 1905] `If I had to rid myself of the constant danger which the company of a vicious beast would expose me to, I would prefer to destroy the animal as a whole than to fool myself into believing that the beast was made harmless by amputating its vocal cords. A dog whose barking appendix is "alert" is not as dangerous as the dog without a "bark"--and, likewise, a bowel whose appendix "talks" is a more useful and intelligent gut than a speechless one.' (p. 165). 2nd edition. Binding is Hardcover.
