Moby Dick Chapter 25 Postscript

Unread post

This Postscript is just to his Advocacy of Whaling, not to the whole book.

His point is that the kings and queens of England put whale gunk on their heads for their coronations, demonstrating that the whale is a royal beasty through divine unction. Yeah right.

Then he implies that King George the Third has a lettuce instead of a brain. Very funny Herman.

Did James Dean use whale oil?
