| Summary | "A Short History of Birds & Beasts, for the Amusement and Instruction of Children" is a children's book produced in the early 19th century. This educational publication combines delightful illustrations and simple verses to introduce young readers to various animals and birds. The probable intent of the book is to provide both amusement and moral instruction through charming narratives and observations about the lives of these creatures. The book is structured around a series of whimsical poems and descriptions, each focusing on a different animal, such as the lion, the lamb, and the parrot. It highlights the characteristics and behaviors of these creatures while often drawing moral conclusions or lessons from their traits or actions. For instance, the lion is depicted as a tyrant, while the industrious ant is praised for its diligence. The verses are designed to engage children’s imaginations and provoke thought regarding themes such as courage, kindness, and industriousness, making it both entertaining and enlightening for its young audience.
