By About the middle of the last century A Dr Bulwer, published a whimsical book containing
an account of all the changes modifications permanent or transient that have⊞ Than transformed or the Artificial Changeling it has been men have been observed to make
been made by most of differen in the appearance of their bodies.
In har In barbarous nations chiefly in their the
appearance of the body itself: in civilized nations
in their dress. First the bodily fashions are exhibited.
All these are represented as so many monstrous
sins; and the Dr is confident that the Devil had
a hand in them,⊞ ⊞ which is proved by a point in which that busy personage is a principal actor. First the bodily fashions are
exhibited: then come the dresses that were in fashion in
his time, which least are by the help of a little exaggeration
are drawn into parallelism with the the these other
fashions. [exhibitions.]⊞ ⊞ The work is interspersed with a set of coarse engravings, which give a ghastly and agonizing appearance to all the figures. The whole together forms a very ridiculous
and amusing diverting book. [It is a humour some men have
to make a sin of every thing.] There is not an individual thing
in nature a man has ever had a mind to do
but another man has made a sin of: all to always under the notion of recommending
himself to a being of infinite benevolence.
These pretended moralists are with very good intentions
among the worst enemies of human nature.
