. William J. Long and his books : a pamphlet consisting chiefly of typical letters and reviews in reply to Mr. Burroughs' attack on Mr. Long . Mr. Long You know the wonderful things that your own par-ticular dog will do ? That is not because he is moreintelligent than all other dogs, but simply because youhave watched him more and know him better. Youwould find much more wonderful things of the wolfand fox could you but watch them with the samethoroughness and sympathy. For these wild animalsare not spoiled by men; and they are in every waymore cunning and individual animals. Your editorial is quite right when it intimates thatI may by further observation modify my theories ofanimal education and psychology. That is what I amdoing all the time. Meanwhile the facts remain as Ihave recorded them, and every modification must bethe result of more facts. And I shall probably continueto watch animals for myself and believe my own eyesand ears rather than listen to the voice of authority inthese matters ; for otherwise of what use is it eitherto watch or write.
