Anecdotes of the Learned Pig With Notes, Critical and Explanatory, and Illustrations from Bozzy, Piozzi &c. &c.

"Anecdotes of the Learned Pig" by James Boswell and Hester Lynch Piozzi is a satire from the late 1700s that uses a talented pig to make fun of politics and fame. The story follows a pig with strange origins that learns to talk and share its political views. As the pig grows, it gets caught up in the confusing political world, dealing with different beliefs and developing friendships and rivalries with important people. The humorously reflects on its own identity while offering witty observations and illustrations about the silliness of people and animals, providing commentary about society and politics during that time.
