Description:
London: Darton and Harvey, 1818. Third edn. 8vo, pp. 311 + adv. Bound in original paper backed boards (front cover separate, rear loose), uncut. A clean copy. Wakefield (1751-1832) was the founder of one of the earliest savings banks. She had a great deal of knowledge about biology and nature and she incorporated this into her books for children. This is a discussion of the differences between reason and instinct in different species. From her Preface, "The harmonising beauty of creation and the interesting objects it presents, have been my delight from childhood; and the enjoyments, as well as the advantages, I have received from this taste, have made me desirous of communicating it to others, by relating a few well authenticated facts of the exact coincidence of the instinctive powers with the necessities of animals . I thought more likely to arrest the attention of the young, when combined in the form of letters, rather than a long string of detached anecdotes .
