[PW] ? Topsell's History of Four-Footed Beasts

[Cramer, Jeff]

In Edward Topsell$B!G(Js The History of Four-Footed Beasts and Serpents and
Insects (New York: Da Capo, 1967) is a description of the ichneumon which
$B!H(Jentreth into the belly of the crocodile$B!I(J and $B!H(Jsitting close upon the
liver of the Crorocidle, and feeding full sweetly upon his intrails, until
at last being satisfied, eaeth out her own passage through the belly of her
hoast.$B!I(J

 

If anyone has a copy of that book and could either proof the above brief
passage or fax me a photocopy of the appropriate page, that would be
wonderfully helpful. I am on a tight deadline and do not have the time to
ILL a copy. Unfortunately I do not have a page reference.

 

The two words I am particularly concerned about are:

 

            $B!H(JCrorocidle$B!I(J which perhaps should be $B!H(Jcrocodile$B!I(J and
$B!H(Jeaeth$B!I(J which perhaps should be $B!H(Jeateth$B!I(J

 

If anyone could help, I$B!G(Jd be grateful. Many, many thanks in advance.-- Jeff

"I have sometimes imagined a library, i.e. a collection of the works of true
poets, philosophers, naturalists, etc., deposited not in a brick and marble
edifice in a crowded and dusty city. . . but rather far away in the depths
of the primitive forest. . ."
 -- Henry D. Thoreau, 3 February 1852
