""His Lordship's Leopard: A Truthful Narration of Some Impossible Facts"" is a novel written by David Dwight Wells and published in 1900. The story revolves around a wealthy Englishman, Lord Lonsdale, who acquires a rare and exotic leopard. However, the leopard is not just any ordinary animal - it possesses the ability to speak and reason like a human being. As Lord Lonsdale becomes more and more enamored with his unique pet, he invites a group of scientists to observe and study the leopard's behavior. The scientists are astounded by what they witness, and soon the leopard becomes a sensation in London society. However, as the leopard's intelligence and abilities continue to grow, it becomes clear that it is not content with being a mere pet. It desires freedom and autonomy, and begins to plot its escape from Lord Lonsdale's estate. The novel is a satirical commentary on the arrogance and folly of the British aristocracy, and the dangers of treating animals as mere objects for human entertainment. It is also a fascinating exploration of the relationship between humans and animals, and the potential for communication and understanding between the two species.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
