Bon-Bon (short story) Aristophanes, Catullus, Hippocrates, Quintilian and François Marie Arouet (the real name of Voltaire). As Bon-Bon is offering his own soul, the Devil sneezes, referring to an earlier moment in the story when the Devil says that men dispel bad ideas by sneezing. An editorial in the "Philadelphia Saturday Courier" thanked Poe for submitting the stories. The writer, presumably the editor, Lambert A. Wilmer, added that "we have read these tales, every syllable, with the greatest pleasure, and for originality, richness of imagery and purity of the style, few American authors in our opinion have produced any thing superior".
