MORE ANIMAL STORIES. Edited by Robert Cochrane. Including Rab and his Friends, by Dr John Brown. Fully Illustrated. 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 illustration 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 Boner, 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 illustrations.
