    The rational brutes or, talking animals. By M. Pelham, Author of the Rotchfords, the Village School, and various other Publications for the Instruction Of Children. If tender sorrow melt thy youthful heart, Hear what beasts, birds, and suff'ring fish impart; Nor for thy transient sport, or lasting joy, The bliss of any thing that lives, annoy; But always recollect this wise decree, "do, as thou wouldst it should be done to thee.".

    Kilner, Dorothy, 1755-1836. | Date: 1799 [1800]
