Sinopsis

Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 6: December, 1830

The face of the Lion is very broad, and quite surrounded with the mane, which gives it a singularly majestic appearance; for the top ofthe head, the temples, the cheeks, the under jaw, the neck, the breast, the shoulders, the belly, and the binder part of the legs, are all furnished with long hair, but that on the rest of the body is very short; his tongue is exceedingly rough and prickly, and by licking will easily take ofi' the skin of a man's hand; a circumstance which ought carefully to be guard cd against by those who keep lions, or amuse themselves with them, al though ever so well tamed; for if this animal once either sees or tastes blood, his fury is beyond all restraint, and he immediately destroys his victim. Several instances of this kind have been known.
