Description: From the publisher's advertisement: The publisher respectfully informs the admirers of Mr. Howitt's performances, the lovers of natural history, and the public at large, that this work is intended to form a most unique Collection of Animals, which, strange as it may appear, has never before been done by any British artist. ... The artist, studious to attain correctness, hopes he may deserve the approbation of the natural historian, and assist the pencil of the designer who has not had an opportunity to pay the same attention to this branch of the art. A Dog was lying upon a manger full of hay. An Ox, being hungry, came near, and offered to eat of the hay. But the envious, ill natured Cur, getting up and snarling at him, would not suffer to touch it. Upon which, the Ox, in the bitternes of his heart, said: A curse light on thee, for a malicious wretch, who wilt neither eat hay thyself, nor suffers others to do it!
