Sea Fables Explained (1883)

This little book certainly does not exhaust the topic at hand. Other sea fables and fallacies may be mentioned and explained, but the author had a limited amount of space in which to write, so he chose his subjects carefully and made each chapter as complete as space allowed. Contents: the mermaid; Lernean hydra; spouting of whales; sailing of the Nautilus; barnacle geese, goose barnacles. Illustrated.
