London. Account of a Polish dwarf now at Paris. Mr.
Borwflasky, who came over with the Countess of Humiecska, is
twenty-two years of age, and but twenty-eight inches high:
he is well proportioned, and has nothing shocking about him:
his eyes are fine, and full of fire; his features agreeable,
which indicates the gaiety and sprightliness of his mind.
He enjoys a perfect state of health, drinks nothing but
water, eats little, sleeps well, and can bear a great deal
of fatigue: he dances well, and is very nimble. Nature has
refused nothing but size to this amiable creature; for which
she has made him ample amends by the beauties of his body
and mind. . . [3 more paras]
