Overview

Excerpt from The Open Court, Vol. 17: A Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Science of Religion, the Religion of Science, and the Extension of the Religious Parliament Idea; October, 1903 Needless to explain, the expelled intruder was not the author Of the book in question, but genuinely a poor devil who played his part in the comedy for a money consideration. However, De cremps was an able man, who could act with as much shrewdness as energy. In I785 he followed his first book with a second, explain ing Finetti's newest tricks, the self-playing organ, artificial snakes and birds, chess-playing automatons, ascending balloons in human shape, perpetual motion, learned animals, automatic ute-playing, etc. The handling of the topic is much more thorough than in the first volume, and the matter interestingly set forth. It is in the form of letters of travel; the author, in company with a Mr. Hill, an Englishman, traverses distant lands, where remarkable and astonishing things are met with, and the causes and construction which bring about their wonderful results, are ascertained and ex plained.
