Chapter 4 of Book I., stands at the head of his article--which, in

What I have said about St. George's, in Chapter 7, is much better said in Pelletan's books on _Royan_ and in his _Pasteur du Desert_. That Pastor, as is generally known, was the grandfather of Pelletan, the reverend minister Jarousseau, so admirably heroic in saving his enemies. His small house, still standing, is a veritable Temple of Humanity.

Notes to Book 2. Chapter I, _Fecundity_. On the Herring, see Vol. I of De Reste's translation of an anonymous Dutch work; Noël de la Moriniere in his excellent works printed and unpublished; Valenciences' _Poissons_, &c.
