Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Through the Long Day, or Memorials of a Literary Life During Half a Century, Vol. 2 I was deputed by Mr. Black to attend the exhibition and report upon it without fear or favour. I went accordingly, and was courteously received by Dr. Elliotson, with whom I was previously acquainted, and found from twenty to thirty ladies and gentlemen assembled in his drawing-room. Among the company was Colonel Gurwood, the editor of the Duke of Wellington´s Despatches, to whom I was introduced by the Doctor. I was the only representative of the press present, for which I was afterwards sorry. Alexis was accompanied by a M. Marcillet, a French gentleman, whom I supposed at first to be his father, but who turned out to be the agent or speculator who had brought him over to England to make money by the display of his real or pretended powers. The performance began by M. Marcillet bandaging the eyes of Alexis, seated in a large arm-chair. The bandage was three, if not four-folded with silk handkerchiefs, so securely and artistically done that it was all but impossible that the slightest ray of light could reach the eyes.
