""Little and Wise: Lessons from the Ants, the Conies, the Locusts, and the Spider"" is a book written by William Wilberforce Newton and published in 1876. The book is a collection of moral lessons and observations drawn from the behavior of four different creatures: ants, conies (rabbits), locusts, and spiders. The author uses each creature as a metaphor for different aspects of human behavior, and draws lessons from their habits and instincts. For example, the ants are praised for their hard work and cooperation, while the conies are used as an example of the importance of safety and security. The locusts, on the other hand, are used to illustrate the dangers of greed and excess, while the spider is used to teach the importance of patience and persistence.Throughout the book, Newton emphasizes the importance of observing and learning from the natural world, and encourages readers to apply these lessons to their own lives. The book is written in a simple, accessible style, and is suitable for readers of all ages. Overall, ""Little and Wise"" is a charming and insightful book that offers valuable lessons on morality, work ethic, and perseverance, using the behavior of animals as a guide.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
