    gourmand pudding-loving king embodies all tfce Bon-bons ^ Bo orbong , or Bourbons !

    Dame Grey mouse combines ^ - ^ perhaps som ewhat disrespectfully touching her attributes and aims—the ancient snuff-immortalized ( being now a spirit ) Queen Charlotte , and the present * venerable Earl of Kldon / The seven-crowned rat-king is an ill-contrived typification of the Emperor Napoleon , whose c cratacrack' was broken in the reign of George IV ., alias Nutcracker . It is to be remembered that Nutcracker lost three teeth in the first attempts ; i . e . when Mary ' s brother Frederick ( Duke of York , scarce worth mentioning ) insisted upon the trial being made .

    Before proceeding to analyze or identify any of the other forms of the primary class ; since such analysis and impersonation might tend in some degree—more or less , according to the idiosyncrasy and general powers of the reader—to confuse and lead astray the inquiring mind ; ( and it is very certain that every writer , of benevolent aim especially , is bound to make himself as clearly intelligible as possible , by every means of definition , explanation , illustration , and simplexity of language and construction , in his power ;) I shall give a short extract from the original manuscript , which extract has been detached , by some means or other , and if not translated by me , will probably—considering all things—be never properly commented upon by anybody else *
