MORE ANIMAL STORIES. Edited by Robert Cochrane. Including _Rab and his Friends_, by Dr John Brown. Fully Ill.u.s.trated. 2/6
One of the finest animal stones ever written, Dr John Brown's _Rab and his Friends_, is placed in the forefront of this volume, with an ill.u.s.tration from the painting of this subject by W. G. Stevenson, R.S.A. Like its predecessor, _Four Hundred Animal Stories_, it comprises a gathering of interesting, pathetic, or amusing animal tales, from _Chambers's Journal_, and from the works of Captain Brown, Charles b.o.n.e.r, Edward Jesse, John M'Diarmid, and Christopher North. Mary Russell Mitford found stories of which the animal world were the heroes 'more touching than the grander histories of men and women.'
Though the proper study of mankind is man, much may he learned by such stories of sympathy and kindness to the lower creation.
A closing chapter bears on kindness to animals, as do also many of the ill.u.s.trations.
