註釋

Holmes orders numbers 9 [Bzammy's Sordelle?] and 44 "The Storm" if they have not been sold yet. Himself a man of many talents, Holmes pioneered the germ theory in disease, co-founded the Atlantic Monthly, served as dean of Harvard Medical School, taught medicine for 35 years, lectured in the Boston lyceums, wrote the poem "Old Ironsides" about the U.S. Constitution (1830), and authored a popular series of columns, The Autocrat at the Breakfast Table (serialized in 1857, published as a book in 1858), including his well-known poem "The Chambered Nautilus." Holmes was a member of the Saturday Club along with Lowell who became the first editor of the Atlantic Monthly and insisted that Holmes be a contributor. Holmes' son and namesake became a Supreme Court justice (1841-1935). Alexander Denham was a Boston bookseller.
