Note 71 — Chapter III · BOYHOOD—EDINBURGH ACADEMY—“OLD 31”—HOLIDAYS AT GLENLAIR—1841 TO 1844—ÆT. 10-13.

Here represented by italics and small capitals respectively. The italics spell—Sea fyke is a good thing for polishing with. The small capitals spell--I am copying an old print out of the delfian (i.e. Delphin) sallust. It need not be observed that the capricious spelling in these letters is merely a piece of “daftness.” The spelling of the letters of 1841 (Æt. 9-10) is faultless.
