, ed. Rochelle Johnson and Daniel Patterson (Athens: University of Georgia Press, 1998), p. 38 (Spring: May 8):Many birds like a village life; they seem to think man is a very good-natured animal, building chimneys and roofs, planting groves, and digging gardens for their especial benefit; only, they wonder not a little, that showing as he does a respectable portion of instinct, he should yet allow those horrid creatures—boys and cats—to run at large in his domain.Related post: Garden Pests.
