“A celebrated chemist has ascertained, by very accurate analysis, that there is enough brass in the countenances of the spectacle men of Duke’s Place and Petticoat Lane to make spectacle-frames for all the spinsters in the neighbourhood.”—Satirist.
I have, of course, laid myself open to the furious and vindictive hostility of those quacks, whose nefarious practices are exposed, and whose career will be checked in proportion as this treatise is circulated and dispassionately perused.

Friends I have made whom envy must commend,
And not one foe whom I would wish a friend.
THE END.
