First published in The Flag of Our Union, 4 (14 April 1849). Burton R. Pollin (1970, chap. 10) considers the story as the culmination of Poe s efforts in the field of the literary hoax (p. 166). Resuming the entire orientation of Poe to experimental and theoretical science , he concludes that Poe humorously maintained that modem inventions are inferior copies or postludes to the glories of Egypt and makes a poor joke about the present lack of advance (p. 184).
