Wonder which country is the dung beetle....

A 15-page political pamphlet from 1871 London: "Europa's menagerie and Britannia's 'bulls': A zoological survey of the political situation, from the Silver Streak to the Golden Horn, shewing how the boa-constrictor strangled the tiger-monkeys, and the 'bulls' had to keep an eye on the bears."

Possible lyric: "I used to travel and wander and stay out late / Now, I'm up all night and watchin' this gate."

Google-translated (from German) title of a book published in 1841:  "Songs of a Cosmopolitan Nightguard."

I gotta see these devices!

From mid-1800's London:  "The marvellous adventures and rare conceits of Master Tyll Owlglass: newly collected, chronicled and set forth in our English tongue by Kenneth R.H. Mackenzie and adorned with many most diverting and cunning devices by Alfred Crowquill."

It reads like a family reunion...

Book written by an anthropologist, published in 1902: "Bibliography of genius, insanity, alcoholism, pauperism, crime, etc."

It trips off the tongue like a poem...

Title of a book published circa 1770:  "Observations of the Going of the Watch from Day to Day."

They forgot the "Do."

Author of a book published in 1932 Boston:  Dudley Wright Knox

Yes, those are their real names...

Continuing with the recent and unintentional theme of names...
I came across a religious volume in a theological library written by a preacher named Christian Newcomer.  Another book from the library is "The Tabernacle" written by a man named Cross.

More interesting names (these summoning thoughts of the animal kingdom)...

Ole Worm (1588-1655), John Baptist Wolf (early-to-mid-20th century), and Wolf Wolf, who co-wrote a book published in 1950 with a woman named Ursula ("little bear").
