j___j EXTRAORDINARY ATTRACTION,
On GOOD FitIDAY, April 10, 1857, and positively for that day
only, the Original
GENERAL TO 51 THUMB!

The world renowned and unparalleled American Man in Miniature,
weighing only 25 lbs, and only 31 inches high.

Patronised by Her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Royal Family, the
King of the Belgians, and all the Crowned Heads of Europe.
After an absence of 13 years from England, he is now making the
tour of France, Spain, Germany, and Russia, and will hold his
Levee, positively for the above day only, in Liverpool.
THIS AMERICAN MAN IN MINIATURE,
undoubtedly the smallest In the world, intelligent, sprightly, edu-
cated, perfectly symmetrical in all his proportions, and graceful
beyond belie, is on his way to Russia, accompanied by his mother,
and other members of his family.
He appeared before her Majesty on three different occasions,
March 23rd, 1844, April Ist, 1844, and April 19th, 1844. Her
Majesty was pleased to present to the General with her own hand, an
elegant and costly souvenir, hearing on one side the crowa and
Royal Initials. V.R., and on the reverse a forget-me-not flower In
gold and enamel. He was likewise prespted with an elegant
miniature watch and chain by her late Majesty ihe Queen Dowager,
as %en as many other rare and valuable presents from his Grace
the Duke of Devonshire, their Majesties the late King and Queen
of the French, and numerous other potentates, lords, ladies, and
gentry. These unique presents may be seen at the little General's
levee.
The little General has scarcely undergone the slightest change
in features, vole or sire since he appeared three times before her
Majesty at Buckingham Palace, 13 years ago. and exhibited before
600,000 of the nobility and gentry at Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, in
1814. Hundreds who knew him intimately at that time 'ter:ause
him daily. His intellect is vastly expanded. and his songs, dances,
imitations, and performances in numerous costumes are enchanting
and graceful beyond belief. He dances the polka, sailor's horn-
pipe, &c.
HIS MINIATURE CHARIOT, PONIES, ELFIN COACH-
MAN and FOOTMAN will promenade the Gardens during the
day, with the General.
Great preparations for the forthcoming Season are being made
n the Gardens, and will be in an advanced state towards com-
pletion.
The COLLECTION of ANIMALS has been considerably in-
creased, including the most splendid group of Lions, of various ages
in Europe.
