There are times when I am intensely in sympathy with the feeling expressed in this ear-splitting sound, inarticulate but human. It is at the same time warning and execration, the startled solitary's outburst of uncontrolled rage at the abhorred sight of a fellow-being in his woodland haunt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
