Analysis Of Plato's 'Ring Of Gyges'
The origin of the poem entitled Tractoration, is source follows: In the year the author, who is a native of Walpole, New Hampshire, was in London, on business as an agent for a Company in Vermont.
In that Metropolis he became acquainted with Mr Benjamin Douglas Perkins, proprietor of a patent right for making and using certain implements, called Metallic Tractors. These were said to cure diseases in all or nearly all cases of topical inflammation, by conducting gybes the diseased part the surplus of electric fluid which in such cases, causes or accompanies the morbid affection. At the request of that gentleman, the author undertook to make the Tractors the theme of a satirical effusion in Hudibrastic verse.
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
This was originally intended for the corner of a newspaper, but subsequently in the first edition enlarged to a pamphlet of about fifty pages royal octavo. It was published in the summer ofwell received, and a second edition called for in less than two months.
A new and enlarged edition was [iv] put to press, and met with a favorable reception both from the public and the reviewers. From the success which attended Tractoration, the author was induced to publish in London a small volume of Original Poemswhich was well received and favorably reviewed.
The author never would have written a syllable intended to give Metallic Tractors favorable notoriety, had he not believed in their efficacy. As conductors of what is called animal electricity, and in principle allied to Galvanic stimulants, even their modus operandihe thought, might be in a great measure explained. Respectable English Reviews and other periodicals gave favorable notices of the Tractors, and Mr Perkins exhibited wh the author testimonials in favor of those implements from several professors of universities, many regular physicians, surgeons, clergymen, and others, men of as high standing and influence as any in community.
But although the author was willing to aid the proprietor of the tractors, he did not confine himself to topics connected with those implements. He made use of Tractoration as the title, and the tractors as the apology for a poem, in which he essayed to paint.

Persons of this description will perceive our objects, appreciate our motives, and recollect that Dr Caustic, by virtue of a figure in rhetoric, called ironycan speak one thing and mean another, without uttering falsehood. The author conceives that he was fortunate as regards the plan of Tractoration. In pursuance of this plan, every thing novel, singular, relating to any human pursuit, it was competent for Dr Caustic to make the object of discussion or animadversion. He hopes not to be condemned for unpardonable egotism, if he quotes a passage or two from English and American reviews relative https://digitales.com.au/blog/wp-content/custom/japan-s-impact-on-japan/which-is-not-true-of-franklin-roosevelts-early-life.php his poetical productions.
