Note 5
INTRODUCTORY NOTE (continued 2)
The “Journal” was printed by Sparks, from a copy made at Reading in 1787. But it does not contain the Plan.—Ed.
…6. For the incidents of the voyage, I refer you to my Journal, where you will find them all minutely related. Perhaps the most important part of that journal is the plan [5] to be found in it, which I formed at sea, for regulating my future conduct in life. It is the more remarkable, as being formed when I was so young, and yet being pretty faithfully adhered to quite thro’ to old age.
