""Apology Addressed To The Travelers Club Or Anecdotes Of Monkeys"" is a book written by William Stewart Rose and published in 1825. The book is a collection of humorous and satirical anecdotes about monkeys, which Rose uses as a metaphor for human behavior. The title of the book refers to an apology that Rose feels he owes to the Travelers Club, a prestigious London club of which he was a member, for the frivolous nature of his work. The anecdotes in the book are drawn from a variety of sources, including classical literature, travel accounts, and popular culture. They range from the absurd to the insightful, and are often accompanied by Rose's own witty commentary. The book is a reflection of the 19th century fascination with monkeys and their perceived similarities to humans, and is also a commentary on the social and political issues of the time. Overall, ""Apology Addressed To The Travelers Club Or Anecdotes Of Monkeys"" is a charming and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on human nature through the lens of our simian cousins.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
