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 lessons and observations drawn from the behavior of various creatures, including ants, conies (rabbits), locusts, and spiders. Newton uses these creatures as examples to illustrate moral and spiritual lessons for his readers. He draws parallels between the behavior of ants, who work tirelessly and cooperatively to build their nests, and the virtues of hard work and cooperation. He also looks at the wisdom of the conies, who are able to escape danger by hiding in the rocks, and applies this to the importance of finding a safe refuge in times of trouble. The book also explores the destructive power of the locusts and the cunning of the spider, and uses these examples to warn against the dangers of greed and deceit. Throughout the book, Newton emphasizes the importance of observing and learning from the natural world, and encourages his readers to seek wisdom and guidance in all aspects of life. Overall, Little And Wise: Lessons From The Ants, The Conies, The Locusts, And The Spider is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers valuable lessons for readers of all ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
