Notes:

First sentence: "'Lucy, look at this little fly I have caught,' said her mamma, 'it is not much larger than a pin's head, -I can hardly see it, but will make it look presently as large as a plum; put it into this glass, which is called a microschop, and when you shut one eye, and look through the glass, you will see how large the fly will seem."
