ST. JAGO MONKEY, 
pable of speech, and conversation ; but obsti- 
nately dumb, for fear of being compelled to 
labour. As, of all Savages, those of Africa 
are the most brutal ; so, of all countries, the 
Monkeys of Africa are the most expert and 
entertaining." The Monkeys of America are, 
in general, neither so sagacious, nor so rra£t- 
able ; nor is their form so nearly approaching 
that of Man." 
It is, perhaps, not very improbable, that the 
familiar name, Jacko, by which, in England, 
all Monkeys are vulgarly called, originated 
a corruption of the^St. Jago Monkey.
