About This Item

Early children's bestiary includes a kangaroo at p7, with the description "its action in moveing (sic) is very singular, as it can neither walk nor run, but jumps with such singular swiftness as to escape the pursuit of the fleetest greyhound...". Other animals described: Nyl-Ghau, Racoon, Antelope, Zebra. Illustration of lion at front cover, boar on title page. 2 3/8 x 3 5/8". 48mo, 16pp, woodblock engravings, 5 in text and 2 at the back cover.
