Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Philosophical Amusement Upon the Language of Beasts and Birds: Written Originally in French How insnaring you ate, Madam, and how well you know the extent of your Power over me! I did but once drop a Word in one of our Philosophical Conversations, that I was of Opinion that Beasts spoke and very well understood each other. Any body but you would have look´d upon this as one of those Expressions which we are apt sometimes to throw out without Proofs, and with no other Design but that of inlivening the Conversation. But you know me very well, you say, and though the Proportion looks very much like a piece of Pleasantry, you are pleased to say that I did not advance it at Random: nay, you will needs have me treat of it seriously, and give you an account of the Reasons that persuaded me to it. Though I have the utmost Desire to please you, I don´t know whether I could in any other Circumstance prevail upon myself to obey you. For you know I have hardly any Leisure to bestow upon amusing Dissertations. By good Fortune I am at last got into the Country. I have left in Town the very Memory of the unpleasant Imployments which make you sometimes pity me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
