Batty is a book that explores the world of exotic animals kept as pets in Victorian-era parlors. Written by J.H. Batty and originally published in 1882, the book provides a detailed and anecdotal account of the various creatures that were popularly kept in parlors, including monkeys, parrots, snakes, and even kangaroos. Batty describes the habits and instincts of these animals, as well as the resources required to care for them, and offers insights into the motivations of their owners. The book also includes illustrations of the animals and their habitats, adding to the vividness of the descriptions. Overall, The Parlor Menagerie offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of pet ownership and the exotic creatures that were once considered status symbols in upper-class households.And The Mysterious Instincts, Of The More Interesting Portions Of Animal Creation, Illustrated By Thomas Bewick, James Reiveley, William Harvey, And Others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
