Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from Aims and Objects: Of the Toronto Humane Society This publication is issued by the Toronto Humane Society in the hope that the perusal of its pages will be the means of awakening and keeping alive a genuine and practical interest on the part of the Toronto public and the public generally in the aims and objects of the Society. The general scope of the work is indicated in the five parts into which the publication is divided. Each part is complete in itself, and teaches its own lesson. In connection with each part will be found a statement of reasons why the subject of such part has been so fully treated. It was felt that if this were not done, and, in a sense, somewhat exhaustively, and with a varied series of facts, anecdotes and stories - in prose and poetry - the lesson sought to be taught, and enforced, would fail to impress the mind of the reader as fully as was desirable. The Society felt, too, that, without full information oh the subject of the work of a Humane Society, it could not expect that a general appeal for the necessary funds to carry on its operations would be so successful as it would be after that information was furnished. Without these funds the reader will see that but little can be accomplished. This will be the more apparent to those who look over the extensive field which a Humane Society should occupy, and which is sketched out in this publication. To half do the work proposed would be to invite failure, and to discourage the willing workers and helpers in such a highly-benevolent cause. It will be noticed, by referring to the Index, that quite a number of the selections made, in prose and poetry, are from Canadian sources. Each one is marked with an asterisk. This shows that the humane sentiment is largely diffused among our people, and that it is the theme of many of our writers. The two noted engravings - the frontispiece and that on page xiv. - illustrate, each in a beautiful manner, the fact that in the most refined, as in the simple child of Nature, sympathy for God s dumb creatures is equally strong and tender. How true it is that - One touch of Nature makes the whole world kin. The Society had hoped to have been enabled to distribute this publication gratuitously, or at a merely nominal charge. The cost, however, of the numerous engravings, added to the cost of stereotyping and printing the large edition of 10,000 copies, absolutely prevents the Directors from doing so. The price has, nevertheless, been fixed by them at the low rate of 25 cents per copy, or five copies to one address for $1. To kindred Societies, and to other parties, the price, in packages of not less than 100 copies, will be $15 per 100. The Society hopes that the publication of such an array of facts, incidents, anecdotes and sketches, as are contained in this work, will induce every reader, by a natural and kindly impulse, to become an active and earnest helper in this preeminently good and noble cause. With such an object in view, and with the prayer that a blessing may attend the efforts of the Society to prevent cruelty to dumb animals and to aid in the rescue of homeless waifs and neglected children, this publication is sent forth by the Society on its mission of kindness and mercy.
