「1745」 M. L. Lemery, “Of Foods Prepared of Animals,” in A Treatise of All Sorts of Foods, Both Animal and Vegetable「Google Books」「Originally written in French」 Translated by D. Hay (London, 1745).
Tho’ the Foods prepared of Vegetables were of themselves sufficient for the Support of Human Life, and that ’tis likely Men were content therewith in the first Age of the World, as has been observed elsewhere; yet they did not long confine themselves within such Rules of Moderation; they had not only the Cruelty to deprive Animals of their Milk and Eggs, but they pursu’d these poor Creatures into their most hidden Recesses, in order to kill and eat them; insomuch that the swiftest Birds, and the Fish in the deep Waters have not been able to escape their Insults.
