THE END
[1] While passing through the press, the scene of the Family Tree has been strongly objected to by a valued Christian Friend, as being enacted on the Sunday evening. It was too late then to repair the error. The author can only express her sincere regret for a fault originating in an insufficient knowledge of the Christian feeling toward the Sabbath, and most earnestly trusts the error may be pardoned.
[2] A country dance, the author believes, peculiar to Devonshire, for she has never seen it danced elsewhere.
[3] For this account of Feroe and the Feroese the author is indebted to a "History of the Islands, by a Resident."
[4] These storms, as occurring in Devonshire, in both January and February, are no creation of the imagination; the author has heard them herself, and more than one officer in the Preventive Service has mentioned them as occurring during the night-watches, and of awful violence.
