The Speech of Monkeys
·
R. L. Garner
85
[Sidenote:
"JESS"]
I
have
recently
received
a
letter
from
Mr.
A.
E.
McCall,
of
Bath,
New
York,
enclosing
a
photograph
of
a
monkey
of
this
kind,
by
the
name
of
"Jess."
The
gentleman
tells
me
that
he
has
been
giving
some
time
to
the
study
of
the
actions
and
language
of
this
monkey,
and
assures
me
that
it
is
very
docile,
and
follows
him
like
a
dog,
and
kindly
offers
to
make
such
experiments
with
it
as
I
may
suggest,
by
which
to
aid
me
in
the
pursuit
of
my
own
researches,
and
I
shall
take
advantage
of
his
kind
offer.
I
am
aware
that
there
are
exceptions
to
all
rules,
and
I
am
not
disposed
to
deprive
the
spider
monkey
of
the
place
he
may
deserve
in
the
scale
of
Simian
life
by
reason
of
his
intellect
or
speech;
but
as
this
book
is
a
record
of
what
I
know,
and
not
what
I
have
heard
of,
I
shall
for
the
present
be
compelled
to
place
the
spider
monkey
very
far
down
in
the
scale
of
intellect
and
speech.
