HISTORY OF QUADRUPEDS. 



The continent of America abounds with Stags, 



& * 



and other animals of the Deer kind, in great variety. 

 In some parts of that vast country, the inhabitants 

 have domesticated them, and live chiefly upon the 

 milk and cheese with which they supply them. 



Thus w T e find, that the same animal, which, in 

 some parts, contributes only to the amusement of 

 man, may, in others, be brought to supply his 

 necessities. The stores of Nature are various and 

 abundant: it is necessity alone that draws them 

 out to supply our wants, and contribute to our 

 comforts.
