A slow pace for deeper discussion: one chapter a day. Tomorrow is discussion of the first chapter.

ITT: we discuss "Etymology" and "Extracts", the sections Melville wrote which precede the first chapter. The first character we meet is not, in fact, Ishmael, but "a late consumptive Usher" (according to The Norton Critical Edition, the term usher here refers to an assistant schoolmaster) to whom the the collation of the etymology is ascribed to. The collation of extracts is later ascribed to a "sub-sub-librarian".
