P. T. Barnum：Struggles and Triumphs, Additional Excerpt 535

The London _Morning Post_, the _Advertiser_, the _Chronicle_, the _Telegraph_, the _Herald_, the _News_, the _Globe_, the _Sun_, and other lesser journals of the same date, all contained lengthy and favorable notices and criticisms of my lecture.

The weekly and literary papers followed in the train; and even _Punch_, which had already done so much to keep Tom Thumb before the public, gave me a half-page notice, with an illustration, and thereafter favored me with frequent paragraphs. The city thus prepared the provinces to give me a cordial reception.
