ARGUMENT. ,
Ever -so long ago thera-existed, a remote little kingdom in
the realms of Extravagance called Faraway, which, at the
primitive period-to Which this story refers, was governed by a
crafty and tyrannical monarch, yelept Squander, whose reckless
and unchecked expenditure {book-keeping being thenunknown
and anditors never dreamt of,) had plunged his little king-
dom and his wretched subjects into an abject state of poverty
and want. In order to repLnish his empty coffers, and
to stop the murmurs 'of his impoverished followers, Xing
Squander conceived the idea of effecting a matrimonial
ianee between his only son, the handsome Prince Golden-
heart, and a wealthy spinster Princess, his ward, . whose
oharms were buried in her Monev-bags. Like .many modern
,Matelf--rnakers, his Majesty speedily made the discovery toat
ms task' was more difficult than he had imagined; 'for
althotigh the intended bride was quite willing, the bridegroom
elect expressed a decided objection to the alliance. Finding
his son so obstinate that threats and entreaties alike failed to
turn hiin from his anti-matrimonial purpose, the King de-
wised a cunning scheme, by which he hoped to overcome the
l'eruPte6—of—hts- son; and-entrap him into svedlock-vritlf the
q-no-means-beautiful Princess. • Having an ungallant idea
:that the fair sex were wholly and without exception addicted
4_o the looking-glass' (those in which they could see their own
Maces, having been invented about thattime), lie despatched the
Prince upon his travels, and obtained his royal promise that if.
ihe rettrned :without having discovered- a fair maiden who had
never
_ beheld ler face in a glass, he would then accept the prof-
Ter ed hand of the obnoxious Princess. Proceeding upon his
novel and apparently hopeless mission, the Prince had almost

others it is contended that flilbre Island covers the defunct

rverf of bearing a strong rese nblance to a missing
toothpick, formerly the property of King Squander. Other
equally learned pundits are of opinion that Faraway is buried

inventive imagination of a needy author.
