Commentary:

This serialized satirical fantasy was attributed by Arthur Hobson Quinn as possibly being by Poe. Quinn’s statement is that “the evidence for Poe’s authorship is largely internal” (see A. H. Quinn, pp. 757-761). Thomas Ollive Mabbott, however, felt that the author was more likely to be Nathan Covington Brooks, who was one of the editors of the American Museum (see Heartman & Canny, p. 145).
