Summary: | down ._Down_ the northern sea! - This calling north _down_ instead of _up_, appears to me to be reversing the right order of things. It is against the stream, which, inshore, sets from Baffin's Bay south; and, in respect of latitude, it is _up-hill_; the nearer the pole, the higher the latitude. And besides, it is _up_ on the map, and was _up_ all through my boyhood, when geography was a favorite study. But as down seems to be the direction settled upon in common parlance, _down_ it shall be in all these pages. PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit no italics WK FF1015 G. M.
