English literature : its history and its sig… door William Joseph Long
excellent Condition. Color illustrations. $7
Touch overall history of English literature. but there are several words that unfortunately difficult.
This book of ethical naturalism opens with a "Dog Comedy" where two dogs kill an innocent woodchuck.
William Long did not bother to call them off.
Interwoven with endless tales of brutal hunting comes the Chapter two event of capturing a crow and "splitting" its tongue.
Hunting crows follows, with patronizing description of his Indian guides and African "savages."
I skimmed the rest for the good feelings about his pond, silence, and solitude with his Ash tree.
Animal paintings rate 5 Stars, as does:
"...there is no dead matter in the world, that the ultimate particles of which matter is composed are all intensely alive.
And if alive, they must be sentient, that is each must have an infinitesimal degree of feeling or sense perception."
"...understanding is a gift of God, and it comes only to those who keep their hearts open."
And their guns at home...?… (meer)

I liked the book fairly well at least the first part, although at times the style went between describing the animal in the woods (preferred) to almost poetic (not sure what to call it, but not of my liking). Also, I thought it was a good book for reading about the animals in the woods, until later in the book when he started talking at length about details in the hunting and killing of animals - definitely NOT of my liking!
