Here are two strange book dedications, one to "the little white bird with many eyes" and the other to "the nonbiting gnat" with many antennae. The first is from The Mysteries of Mesmeric Or Magnetic Influence, as Extended Over the Mineral and Animal Kingdoms, Developed and Explained by Facts Collected from the Customs of the Ancients, the Traditions of Our Forefathers, and the Daily Experience of Modern Research. Also Ample Directions for the Full Acquirement of Its Marvellous Powers by a Lady, 1850. The second is from Cursive Numbers.
