,,punch ,,and ,,judy1 ,with ,instructions ,how to ,manage the ,little ,,wooden ,,actors2 ,,containing ,new and ,easy ,dialogues ,,arranged ,,for ,,the ,,use ,,of ,,beginners1 ,,desirous ,,to ,,learn ,,how ,,to ,,work ,,the ,,puppets4 --,,for-- ,sunday ,schools1 ,private ,parties1 ,festivals and ,parlor ,entertainments4 ,,by ,,thos4 ,a4 ,m4 ,,ward1 ,attorney at ,law4 ,,janesville1 ,,wis43 ,,veeder ,,leonard1 ,,printers1 #ahgd4 ,entered according to an ,act of ,congress1 in the year #ahgd1 by ,,thos4 ,a4 ,m4 ,,ward1 ,in the ,clerk's ,office of the ,district ,court for the ,eastern ,district of ,pennsylvania4 ,,preface4 ,the ,invention of ,puppet ,shows1 ,tumbling and other public amusements1 carries us back to a period in history long anterior to the birth of ,,moses4 ,in fact1 ,games of ,chance1 as well as the sports and pastimes usually enjoyed in their ,plays1 by the early people of ,egypt1 were in their zenith in the reign of the ,,rameses4 ,,rameses the ,,ii4 was a magnificent patron of letters as well as art4 ,the ,sacred ,library1 which ,diodorus mentions1 has been discovered in his ,palace1 the ,rameseum at ,karnak4 ,nine men of learning were attached to the person of this ,king1 and at their head was a certain ,,kagabu1 as ,master of the ,rolls1 7,books7 a man unrivaled in elegance of style and diction4 ,from the pen of this master1 who may have helped to train the mind of ,,moses1 the ,king's adopted grandson1 in all the learning of the ,egyptians1 we still possess the oldest ,fairy ,tale in the world1 a moral story1 resembling that of ,joseph and his ,brethren1 composed for the ,king's son ,meneptha1 who afterwards became the opponent of ,moses1 at the time of the exodus of the ,jews from ,egypt4 ,our object is not so much with the antiquity of shows1 as it is directly with the introduction of ,,punch ,,and ,,judy into polite society2 in proper character1 free from superfluous verbiage1 and dressing the play in phraseology commensurate with the progress of the age--good taste and refinement4 ,the performance of ,,punch in the streets of ,european cities1 unpurified of the vulgar colloquies put into his mouth1 by the man who works the ,puppets1 would not for an instant be tolerated by the people of this country4 ,the ,play of ,,punch ,,and ,,judy1 observes a writer in ,harper's ,monthly1 was exhibited for a short time at a popular place of amusement in ,new ,york ,city1 in #ahgj1 but did not take sufficiently with the audience to induce the managers to go on with it4 ,the true cause of its failure1 at the time1 doubtless arose from the vulgar and impure language1 used by the fellow that worked the ,figures4 ,where the little ,puppets have been properly conducted1 the popularity of the show has been unbounded4 ,with the assistance of ,mr4 ,cruikshank's admirable illustrations1 it may be made the medium of the most amusing whimsicalities4 ,we are told that so grave and dignified a personage as an ,english ,secretary of ,state is certain to be1 once paused on his way from ,downing street to the ,,house ,,of ,,commons on a night of important debate to witness the whole performance4 ,,instructions4 ,how to ,perform the ,puppets4 ,the ,frame should be three feet long and two feet wide3 there should be a space of #af inches high1 between the stage1 on which the ,puppets perform1 and the top of the ,frame1 corresponding to the ceiling of a room1 from which a little curtain hangs and in all particulars resembling a miniature theatre1 with small wings on the sides1 like the scenes in a large theatre1 and a curtain in front to drop1 or slide across the stage1 at the end of each act1 is necessary4 ,immediately above the stage is a small stick running across the top1 from which a small fringe hangs1 in the style of a curtain1 between this fringe and the top of the stage1 is a space of #af inches1 for the ,puppets to perform4 ,the hight of the stage1 or floor on which the ,puppets move1 from the ground upward1 must be regulated by the hight of the person performing the ,figures3 the stage1 therefore1 should never exceed two inches higher than the head of the person who stands behind it1 inside of the ,frame4 ,this will enable the performer to rest his hands on the back part of the stage without being seen by the audience4 ,without this relief for the hands to rest on1 he could not be able to continue the movement of the ,figures to any length of time4 ,on one end of the ,frame 7the stage part7 is a small socket1 in which the end of a movable gallows is fixed4 ,the whole of the ,frame is covered outside with thick cloth1 to conceal all that may be done on the inside4 ,three bags hang in front of the performer--extending across the ,frame2 and on the right and left hand sides1 are four more pockets--two on each side--making seven altogether2 about six or eight inches deep4 ,in these pockets are placed the little ,wooden ,actors4 ,,punch and the ,,doctor1 occupy the same bunk4 ,,judy1 with her child1 and the dog ,,toby have a bunk to themselves4 ,the ,,constable and ,,jack ,,ketch1 room together4 ,the ,,negro and the ,,devil have separate berths4 ,the way to hold the ,puppets in order to exhibit them to the public3 ,,punch is always held by the showman's right hand1 his head is wood of course1 and should be five inches1 allowing two inches for the length of neck would make it seven inches long1 five inches from the neck to the top of the head1 with a hole1 for the finger to rest in1 three inches deep4 ,into this little hole in the head fits the showman's fore finger while his second finger fits into ,,punch',s right hand1 and the exhibitor's thumb sets in ,,punch',s left hand4 ,thus1 by the aid of the exhibitor's fore finger and thumb1 ,,punch is enabled to wield the club he carries with such consummate dexterity4 ,,judy is held by the left hand and managed in the same way3 thus1 when the exhibitor has ,,punch and ,,judy ready to commence the show they are said to be well mounted4 ,how to make the dresses and to dress the ,figures4--,the dress of each ,puppet is a gown fastened around its neck about thirteen inches long1 on to this is sewed the coat1 shirt1 vest and pantaloons4 ,inside of the gown the showman thrusts his hand for the working of the little ,actor--described above4 ,the ,,punch ,puppet1 has a big belly and a haunch on his back between his shoulders1 which gives him the appearance of the ,lord ,mayor of ,london4 ,the ,play opens by the appearance of ,mr4 ,,punch who calls ,,judy to his aid4 ,here commences the dance by ,,punch and ,,judy1 who bow to the audience1 then to each other and at the sound of music move off in the dance4 ,it is not necessary that the feet of the ,puppets should be seen1 consequently they are seldom brought into view4 ,the person inside the ,frame when dancing the ,puppets1 must go through all the capers he wishes the ,figures to perform2 and as he is entirely concealed from view1 he can be just as funny as he pleases2 and in proportion to his comic actions will the little ,actors appear to the audience4 ,and strange as it may seem should the exhibitor fail to carry out these instructions1 namely3 of moving his body1 so as to correspond with the motions he wishes to give the ,figures1 the dance of ,,punch and his wife would be flat--without fun or any interest whatever4 ,therefore1 remember and fail not to put in all the comic points1 7motions7 for in this lies the secret of giving life and merriment to the ,,punch and ,,judy ,show4 ,act #a4 ,scene #ast4 7,,punch--is heard below with a loud squeak3 he makes his appearance from the wing on the right hand side of the stage dancing and singing4 ,enter ,,punch47 ,,punch4--,good day little

behind him and hits him a heavy blow on the side of his head1 and before ,,punch gets a glance at him1 darts out of sight4 ,,punch scratches his head1 looks about the stage--seemingly much perplexed--but is soon relieved by the appearance of ,,judy with the ,,child4 ,enter ,,judy with the ,,baby47 ,,judy4--,mr4 ,,punch1 here is our own little darling3 you hold the child while ,i go down
