He plays on various sort of music to admiration? and designs to make machines to play on almost all sorts of music. He is no less eminent for writing, drawing of coats of arms, and pictures to the life, with a pen; he also plays at cards and dice, performs tricks with Cups and Balls, corn and live birds?.?Buchinger?s wig is made up of the words of the Lord?s Prayer. 12 x 7 ??.
