Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. First Edition. This fairly rare second edition presents 27 classes of animals for examination. While not a technical textbook, it is an examination of animal behavior, natural history, and moral instruction, presenting short narratives and anecdotes designed to teach both scientific curiosity and ethical lessons. The tone is typical of Methodist juvenile literature of the period: uplifting, didactic, and aimed at shaping character through stories of animal intelligence, loyalty, instinct, and courage. The structure is episodic; each chapter focuses on a specific animal or behavior, using real or embellished anecdotes to illustrate traits such as bravery, affection, cunning, or perseverance.
