De Morgan described Pope as "the author was one of the crackedest men of his time," The loony science was widely ridiculed when the work was published, with The Dublin Review not mentioning the author's name in the "hope [that] the author has seen his folly...." Pope purports to describe his "'patent dipping needle mariner's compass,' together with investigations into the origins of the earth, the theory of tides, the perpetual lamp, and perspective."
