This is an amusing little history, abound-
ing with so many ludicrous incidents,
that it almost never fails to excite the
merriment and risible faculties of the
young freader. Tales of enchantments
and transformations by fairies and magi-
cians, being mere chimeras of the brain,
are believed by no one; and although
the wonderful achievements of the re-
nowned Tom Thumb are of this descrip-
tion, yet the many laughable adventures
which our hero goes through makes the
story be eagerly sought after and greed-
ily devoured by juvenile readers of both
Sexes.
