About The Book: "Apology Addressed to the Travellers' Club; or Anecdotes of Monkeys" is a satirical work attributed to William Stewart Rose and Sir John Malcolm. It humorously critiques British colonial and social attitudes through fictional anecdotes involving monkeys, using wit to mirror human follies. The book is believed to be a playful commentary on travel narratives and the pretensions of elite societies like the Travellers’ Club. Blending satire and parody, it reflects the authors' literary skill and insight into early 19th-century British culture. About The Author: William Stewart Rose (1775–1843) was a British poet, translator, and satirist known for his witty literary style. He translated Italian epics like Orlando Furioso and contributed to political satire.
