Notes: "Having found Sergeant Bell, the raree-showman, to be an amusing and instructive companion, we cannot refrain from introducing him to our young friends ... Should he prove as acceptable a companion to the rising generation ... it is probable that, in the course of next summer, some additional account will be given of his wanderings"--Address of the publisher, p. 5.
