The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Memories and Portraits by Robert Louis Stevenson: Footnotes:
(1) 1881.
(2) Written for the "Book" of the Edinburgh University Union Fancy
Fair.
(3) Professor Tait's laboratory assistant.
(4) In Dr. Murray's admirable new dictionary, I have remarked a

may be defined as "a founded, artificial sea-mark, not lighted."
(5) The late Fleeming Jenkin.
(6) This sequel was called forth by an excellent article in THE
SPECTATOR.
