Notes
Content: Written on border: "May 1856" Printed on border: "The hare is a timid, lonely creature, and will sit for hours without moving, crouched in what is termed its form. The rabbit, on the contrary, is lively and frolicsome, delighting to pop out from its burrow into daylight, bask for a few moments in the clear sunshine, and then, as if in very joy and capriciousness, throw its heels into the air, and suddenly sink into the ground and out of sight." "The nest of the hare is of the rudest construction, a few sticks and dried leaves spread upon the cold ground being all that is deemed necessary. The rabbit burrows in the earth…" Includes additional text.
