eBay From the publisher’s advertisement: The publisher respectfully informs the admirers of Mr. Howitt’s performances, the lovers of natural history, and the public at large, that this work is intended to form a most unique Collection of Animals, which, strange as it may appear, has never before been done by any British artist. … The artist, studious to attain correctness, hopes he may deserve the approbation of the natural historian, and assist the pencil of the designer who has not had an opportunity to pay the same attention to this branch of the art. The birds met together, upon a time, to choose a king; and the Peacock standing candidate, displayed his gaudy plumes, and catched the eyes of the silly multitude with the richness of his feathers. The majority declared for him, and clapped their wings with great applause. But, just as they were going to proclaim him, the Magpie stepped forth in the midst of the assembly, and addressed himself thus to the new king: May it please your majesty elect, to permit one of your unworthy subjects to represent to you his suspicions and apprehensions, in the face of this whole congregation. We have chosen you for our king, we have put our lives and fortunes into your hands, and our whole hope and dependance are upon you : if therefore the Eagle, or the Vulture, or the Kite, should at any time make a descent upon us, as it is highly probable they will, may your majesty be so gracious as to dispel our fears, and clear our doubts about that matter, by letting us know how you intend to defend us against them ? This pithy unanswerable question drew the whole audience into so just a reflection, that they soon resolved to proceed to a new choice : but, from that time, the Peacock has been looked upon as a vain insignificant pretender, and the Magpie esteemed as eminent a speaker as any among the whole community of birds. THE LESSON: Form and outside, in the choice of a ruler, should not be so much regarded, as the qualities and endowments of the mind. In choosing heads of corporations, from the king of the land, down to the master of a company, upon every new election, it should be enquired into, which of the candidates is most capable of advancing the good and welfare of the community; and upon him the choice should fall: but the eyes of the multitude are so dazzled with pomp and shew, noise and ceremony, that they cannot see things really as they are; and from hence it comes to puss, that so many absurdities are committed and maintained in the world. People should examine and weigh the real desert and merit of the person, and not be imposed upon by false colours and pretences of I know not what.
