Author Description

Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of Dr. Dodimus Duckworth, A. N. Q, Vol. 1 of 2: To Which Is Added, the History of a Steam Doctor The history of the early life of Doctor Duck worth rests on a better foundation than that of vague and uncertain tradition; and in this respect I consider myself peculiarly fortunate as his bio grapher, inasmuch as I shall not be obliged to eke out a meager account with the shreds of fan cy, nor. Patch it up with circumstances borrowed from the lives of those whose history stands more in need of them.
