Additional information

Let me be candid: it is dull.

I am proud of this original way to begin my account.

In those days I apparently did not have enough to do.

Plus a few of the other kind.

George Sarton’s “Notes On the Reviewing of Learned Books,” Isis 41: 149–158 (1950), was of immeasurable help to me. I recommend it to you.

Even Dr. Tippo.

You know some of them, at least by reputation.

If this was the most noteworthy incident, just imagine what the others were like.

I am proud of this original way to end my account.

If the appellation is not appropriate, please do not tell me.
