Abstract: In the first volume of Tristram Shandy Tristram announces to his readers that he will draw his uncle Toby's character from his "hobby-horse" rather than with any "mechanical help" such as wind instruments, evacuations, the Pentagraph, or the "Camera."1 The most fully conisdered of these mechanical means of characterization is the Momus's glass, a curious device which had been employed in a prose work the year before Tristram Shandy appeared.
