Summary: "Anecdotes of the Habits and Instinct of Animals" by Mrs. R. Lee is a collection of observational essays detailing the behaviors and traits of various animal species, likely written in the mid-19th century. The text focuses on providing entertaining and informative anecdotes about animals, avoiding dry scientific classifications while still conveying a sense of authenticity. The work aims to share the wonders of the animal kingdom with readers, especially those who may not have the opportunity to observe these creatures in nature. The opening of the book begins with a preface, where the author discusses her careful selection of anecdotes that shed light on the habits and instincts of animals, with a particular emphasis on mammals. The introduction highlights the author's appreciation for nature and her intent to present an engaging narrative that reflects the animals' behaviors rather than mere facts. The first chapter opens with a focus on monkeys, showcasing their intelligence and antics as observed during the author's travels, particularly the charming story of a monkey named Jack aboard a ship. Through vivid descriptions and personal experiences, the text captivates the reader's imagination about the complexities of animal behavior and the author's fondness for them.
