Notes
Content: Printed on border: "Under ground" "The rat-- that is, the species most widely known, is supposed to have originated in Norway, but the race has spread, in modern times, to every part of the habitable globe. The rat is a great sailor. He loves ships, wharves, and seaports, and he takes passage in vessels to go no matter where, just to see the world and enjoy himself, and to keep company with man."
