Abstract
Since the remotest ages, the elephant, on account of his size, his sagacity, and his wonderful docility, has attracted the no­tice, and excited the admiration, of philosophers and naturalists, both ancient and modern; and few travellers into Asia, or Africa, have omitted giving some account of him. A residence, however, of more than ten years, in Tiperah, a province of Bengal, situated at the eastern extremity of the British dominions in Asia, where herds of elephants are taken every season, afforded me frequent opportunities of observing, not only the methods of taking them, but also the habits and manners of this noble animal.
