Transcribed from the 1886 T. Fisher Unwin edition by David Price, email ccx074@pglaf.org NOTE TO PAGE 56. Sir Charles Tupper tells me that I was totally misinformed. I am sorry to have been led astray, and have pleasure in making the correction, which was received, unfortunately, after the chapter had been worked off.
