Sinopsis

Excerpt from Notes on Pet Monkeys and How to Manage Them

The menagerie and the zoological collection are incomplete without a certain complement of monkeys; and whatever else may awe, and frighten, and command the admiration of the gaping crowd, it is this department that awakens the broad grin and the hearty laugh.

Excerpt from Notes on Pet Monkeys and How to Manage Them

From the time my fingers were big enough to manufacture a fly-cage with a hollowed cork and a few pins, for the benefit of bluebottles, till now, the Simian family has had great fascinations for me; and to my little friends with tails, this Series of odd Notes - for they cannot lay claim to a higher title - is respectfully dedicated.

To literary merit this handbook lays no claim whatever - not further, perhaps, than that of being original in matter and theme. All other lines of the "Fancy" have been well threshed out by a number of experienced writers. Monkeys have been overlooked; and for want of a better book to supply its place, this is edged into the gap, and handed over to the fancier, who may overlook its faults in its help.

Whatever credit may be deserving is due to Francis Guy, Esq., of Sudbury, at whose instigation I made close acquaintanceship with quite a colony of monkeys and conceived the idea of scribbling about them.
