If we look further into, or "drink deep" of the art of confectionery, we shall find it to be a perfect Microcosma little creation; for our artist talks familiarly of "producing picturesque scenery, with trees, lakes, rocks, &c.; gum paste, and modelling flowers, animals, figures, &c." with astonishing mimic strife.
