Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Childhood of Animals
Finally I have to state my indebtedness, in general terms, to the great army of writers on zoological subjects. To have tried to attribute to its proper source each observation that I have used, or each little piece of half-remembered theory, would have over weighted this book with historical pomp, and puffed out its slight figure to unhealthy repletion. Although there are some observations that are new, I claim credit for the mode of presentation rather than for what is presented.
