Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Winter Studies and Summer Rambles in Canada, Vol. 2 of 3
The other day, while walking near a piece of water. I was startled by a very loud deep croak, as like the croak of an ordinary frog, as the bellow of a bull is like the bleat of a Calf; and looking round, perceived one of those enormous bull-frogs of the country seated with great dig nity on the end of a plank, and staring at me. The monster was at least a foot in length, with a pair of eyes like spectacles; on shaking my parasol at him, he plunged to the bottom in a moment. They are quite harmless, I believe, though slander accuses them of attacking the young ducks and chickens.
