(In a Box.) * * * * * Transcriber's Notes All obvious typographical errors were corrected. On page 121, there is an opening quote; but no closing one follows. Based on the text ("Returning from this digression...") on page 124, it was assumed that the closing quote should have been at the end of the preceding paragraph. Hyphenation and accents were standardized. However, some hyphenated and separate word usage (for example, sea bottom(s) and sea-bottom(s)) were retained due to their grammatic usage.
