WITH A FEW 
PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS 
BY 
S. POLITO* 
OF BEASTS, 
LION. 
This noble animal was whelped in the Tower of London, 
when the late George Payne, Esq. was shepherd of his 
Majesty’s Managerie there. He is remarkably muscular, 
though at present not so majestic as his sire, who went 
by the appellation of Young Nero , also a British Lion . 
He is perfectly docile with his keeper, but shews an un- 
accountable antipathy to the owner, S. Polito, all whose 
endeavours to gaiii his affection hath hitherto proved a- 
bortive.
