The Crow's Nest
This Simian World
By Clarence Day, Jr.
"One of the best pieces of satire from the pen of an American. As a recruiting pamphlet for the human race. 'This Simian World' cannot be surpassed."
—New York Tribune.
"The most amusing little essay of the year. We like best his picture of the cat civilization. It is even finer than Swift's immortal description of a country governed by the super-horse."
—The Independent.
