Excerpt from The Naturalist's Cabinet, Vol. 4 of 6: Containing Interesting Sketches of Animal History; Illustrative of the Natures, Dispositions, Manners, and Habits, of All the Most Remarkable Quadrupeds, Birds, Fishes, Amphibia, Reptiles, &C. In the Known World "The cock, that is the trumpet of the morn, Doth, with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat, Awake the god of day; and at his warning. Whether in sea or fire, in earth or air, Th' extravagant and guilty spirit hies To his confine." Shakespeare. This brave and majestic bird in his present state of domestication, differs so exceedingly from his wild original, as to render it difficult to trace him back to his primitive stock. According to the accounts of various travellers, he is still found in a state of nature in the forests of India, and in most of the islands of the Indian seas.
