Nature, who has bestowed so many brilliant 
qualities on the elephant, has denied this clumsy 
animal the smallest share of intelligence. Rash 
and brutal, without sentiment or docility, he seems 
to exist merely to gratify a voracious appetite ; and, 
being covered with an almost impenetrable skin, 
frequently commits the greatest devastations with, 
impunity.
