Excerpt from More About Wild Nature
Such a success, however, has been all the more gratifying because it was so entirely unexpected, and I take it to prove not any peculiar merit in my little series of narratives, but rather the depth of that love of animated nature which is engrained in English hearts.
That the genuine instinct of all normal English men and women is one of humanity towards dumb creatures is my firm conviction. Where cruelty is shown I would fain believe that more than half of it arises from ignorance rather than deliberate intention, and, if it be so, then such simple books as mine may not be without a direct service to others.
