This work was written as an imitation of the comical Monsieur Scarron and another merry fellow, on the same account craved the patronage of a Lady's monkey, either of them having more manners, than to trouble men of sense with works of that nature, though the latter outstrips the first in his choice, by addressing the subtler animal. Mandeville had in mind to imitate both, but to copy neither. And so, he was forced to look out for something that was above a monkey, and yet below a rational creature, which was happily accomplished. Due to the age of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty or faded. Written in Old English.
