A lovely engraving of a group of rabbits with young. 'In its wild state, the Rabbit is an intelligent and amusing creature, full of odd little tricks, and given to playing the most ludicrous antics as it gambols about the warren in all the unrestrained joyousness of habitual freedom. To see Rabbits at their best it is necessary to be closely concealed in their immediate vicinity and to watch them in the early morning or at the fall of evening. No one can form any true conception of the Rabbit nature until he has observed the little creatures in their native home - and when he has once done so, he will seize the earliest opportunity of resuming his acquaintance with the droll little creatures. (1874)
