Animal Personalities
Garden City, NY: Doubleday Page and Company, 1923. first edition. hardcover. 8vo. 298pp. stated first edition. from Introduction: Only yesterday, as it were, the men of this world began to learn that the animals immediately below us in the zoological scale have thoughts and feelings, temperaments and personalities, joys and sorrows. But even to-day they have not yet made a good beginning toward learning that the beasts and birds--both tame and wild--the reptiles and the fishes, have rights that even the dullest men are in honour bound to recognize and respect. To the conglomerate mass of humanity the "Wild Animal's Bill of Rights" is a revelation. It is indeed high time for men and women to known animals better, and to treat them better. They are entitled to the Rooseveltian "square deal," just as helpless children are."
