Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Black Bear of Pennsylvania (Ursus Americanus) "The Bear is capable of some degree of instruction, there are few but have seen it dance in awkward measure upon its hind feet, to the voice or instrument of its leader; and it must be confessed, that the dancer is is often found to be the best performer of the two. I am told that it is first taught to perform in this manner by setting it upon hot plates of iron and then playing to it while in this uneasy situation." - Oliver Goldsmith About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
