Ian, as usual, with "The Uncivilized Races of Man," which always opens of itself at the Mumbo Jumbo picture, and as a great treat for Richard, took down the three quarto volumes of Audubon's "Quadrupeds," and ranged them on a low stand with a stool in front of it.

I could not help thinking of the account of the Weasel in Bewick's Quadrupeds: 'It passes the greatest part of the day in sleeping, and usually employs the night in exercise and eating' [2] And though, my Lord, I feel myself a weasel's superior still, I do not think that the enjoyment would be improved by a repetition, I felt myself out of my element.
