Abstract
THIS work is absolutely unique. Nothing in the slightest degree approaching it in its wonderful combinations has ever, to our knowledge, been produced. True and false science, theological, logical, metaphysical, physical, mathematical, &c., are interwoven in its pages in the most fantastic manner: and the author himself mingles with his puppets, showing off their peculiarities! posing them, helping them when diffident, restraining them when noisy, and even occasionally presenting himself as one of their number. All is done in the most perfect good-humour, so that the only incongruities we are sensible of are the sometimes savage remarks which several of his pet bears make about their dancing-master.
