"The Knickerbocker, Vol. 22, No. 6, December 1843" by Various is a compilation of different writings from the 1840s that explores a bunch of subjects, including whether animals have minds like humans. The volume kicks off with an essay that presents an argument that animals aren't just acting on instinct; they can also think and remember things. The author pulls examples of animal social behavior to suggest that they're not acting on instinct, but behaving in ways that suggest they are working together and thinking. The volume mixes stories, poems, and essays, giving readers a look at how people wrote and thought back then and asking them to think differently about the intelligence of animals.
