Excerpt from Kirby's Wonderful and Eccentric Museum; Or Magazine of Remarkable Characters, 1820, Vol. 1 Nor will our efforts be confined to the mere ar rangement of what has been before written. By others. To a very competent share of Original and Eccentric Biography, which is intended to consti tute a distinguishing feature in kirby's won derful museum; it is intended, from time to time, to present the Reader with Translations from the most scarce and valuable Originals in the mo dern languages, with Extracts from the same, with out waiting, as many of our competitors have been compelled to do, for the translation and publica tion of the whole of such works in English. And as all our measures are taken for realizing the pro fessions we have now made to the ingenious in quirers into the wonders and curiosities of Art and Nature; we are probably justified in presuming, to appropriate that ample share in public patro nage, which will crown our labours, and set every degree of rivalship at that distance it must ever keep, from a more correct taste, superior exertions, industry, and ability.
