Most
statistical
tables
are
parchingly
dry
in
the
reading
;
not
so
in
the
present
case
,
however
,
where
the
reader
is
flooded
with
whole
pipes
,
barrels
,
quarts
,
and
gills
of
good
gin
and
good
cheer
.
At
the
time
,
I
devoted
three
days
to
the
studious
digesting
of
all
this
beer
,
beef
,
and
bread
,
during
which
many
profound
thoughts
were
incidentally
suggested
to
me
,
capable
of
a
transcendental
and
Platonic
application
;
and
,
furthermore
,
I
compiled
supplementary
tables
of
my
own
,
touching
the
probable
quantity
of
stock-fish
,
&
c.
,
consumed
by
every
Low
Dutch
harpooneer
in
that
ancient
Greenland
and
Spitzbergen
whale
fishery
.
In
the
first
place
,
the
amount
of
butter
,
and
Texel
and
Leyden
cheese
consumed
,
seems
amazing
.
I
impute
it
,
though
,
to
their
naturally
unctuous
natures
,
being
rendered
still
more
unctuous
by
the
nature
of
their
vocation
,
and
especially
by
their
pursuing
their
game
in
those
frigid
Polar
Seas
,
on
the
very
coasts
of
that
Esquimaux
country
where
the
convivial
natives
pledge
each
other
in
bumpers
of
train
oil
.
