Description
Excerpt from The Lives of the Conjurors
Fewer omissions will, I think, be found in the present work than in its immediate predecessor, in which, as I did not aim at being the Geneste of equestrianism, it was unnecessary to record the name of every rider, acrobat, gymnast, etc., who ever performed in the arena of a circus. Even in that work, however, the critics have instanced only Keller, the exhibitor of poses plastiques, whom my researches have failed to discover in a circus. David Prince Miller they will find in his proper place, though he did not figure among the showmen at fairs which he never professionally attended.
