Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Curious and Instructive Stories About Wild Animals and Birds
Loading the winds, is heard the hungry howl Of famished monsters.
Then it is that the lions, like the witches of old, hold their hideous revels! Then does it behove the tra veller to watch with unceasing vigilance, and, if in a district populous with lions, he may esteem himself fortunate should he escape with minor losses. The sentry, as he walks his round, runs much risk of being carried off.
