TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE

Obsolete, archaic and unusual spellings have been maintained as in the original book. Obvious typos have been fixed silently.

In the story of John Dory, the phrase “in revenge of the great ravine and cruelty” appears. The word “rapine” comes from French, and a popular form of this word in old French was “ravine”. Consequently I believe that a rendering of this phrase in modern English would be “in revenge of the great rapine and cruelty.”
