Description: | Thomas Bewick frequently makes his point, serious or amusing, by telling a little story. Here, in his book, 'Quadrupeds' (p.291) he dwells on the superior strength of the Mastiff. 'A large dog of this kind.....being frequently molested by a mongrel, and teased by its continual barking, at last took it up in his mouth by the back, and with great composure dropped it over the quay into the river, without any farther injury to an enemy so much his inferior.' | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1790 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
