Excerpt from First Biennial Report of the Montana State Board of Horticulture to the Legislative Assembly of the State of Montana for the Years 1899 1900
Chapter V. The Author, at his master's commands, informs him of the state of England. The causes of war among the princes of Europe. The Author begins to explain the English Constitution.
The reader may please to observe that the following extract of many conversations I had with my master contains a summary of the most material points, which were discoursed at several times for above two years; his honor often desiring fuller satisfaction as I farther improved in the Houyhnhnm tongue. I laid before him, as well as I could, the whole state of Europe; 1 discoursed of 'trade and manufactures, of arts and sciences; and the answers I gave to all the questions he made, as they arose upon several subjects, were a fund of conversation not to be exhausted. But I shall here only set down the substance of what passed between us concerning my own country, reducing it into order as well as I can, without any regard to time or other circumstances, while I strictly adhere to truth. My only concern is that I shall hardly be able to do justice to my master's arguments and expressions; which must needs' suffer by my want of capacity, as well as by a translation into our barbarous English.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a groundbreaking work that explores the nature of humanity and the relationship between humans and animals. The author, during his fantastical voyages to strange lands, encounters a race of intelligent horses called Houyhnhnms. Determined to understand their society, he learns their language and customs, only to discover that these creatures deem humans, whom they call Yahoos, to be savage and uncivilized beasts. Through this satirical lens, the book delves into profound themes of rationality, morality, and the complexities of human nature. It challenges prevailing notions of superiority and explores the consequences of unchecked prejudice and the abuse of power. Ultimately, this book serves as a timeless allegory, inviting readers to question their own assumptions and biases, and to strive for a more just and equitable world.
