Rare privilege! my uncle enjoyed during his lifetime the glory he had deservedly won; and he may even boast the distinguished honour of an offer from Mr. Barnum, to exhibit him on most advantageous terms in all the principal cities in the United States!
Chose rare! mon oncle jouissait de son vivant de toute la gloire qu'il avait acquise, et il n'y eut pas jusqu'à M. Barnum qui ne lui proposât de «l'exhiber» à un très haut prix dans les États de l'Union.
