It remained in the care of Harborough's mother who kept the secret of the marriage until it was seven years old. Then, opportunity occurring, it was taken to its father in Australia.
To save himself trouble, on the first instance occurring in each proof, he put in the margin a general direction to change all such o's into a's.
