| Summary | "Quadrupeds, What They Are and Where Found: A Book of Zoology for Boys" by Mayne Reid is a scientific publication aimed at educating young readers about various four-legged animals around the world, likely written during the mid-19th century. This engaging work explores the different species of quadrupeds, categorizing them by families and habitats while avoiding overly technical jargon to suit its youthful audience. Through twenty-four chapters, the reader is introduced to a variety of mammals, their characteristics, and geographical distributions. At the start of the book, the author outlines his intentions for creating accessible sketches related to animal engravings, focusing on mammals and their classifications. The opening chapters delve into monkeys from both the Old and New Worlds, discussing their classifications, habitats, and behaviors, along with engaging anecdotes about their interactions with humans and their roles in the animal kingdom. The writing establishes a balance between informative content and readability, making it an appealing introduction to zoology for a younger demographic.
