The writer starts by commenting upon the erroneous idea of the public that Harward is extravagant, and after stating that Professor Palmer's estimates are not correct, and that the catalogue is absolutely misleading, presents a new table. The reader, prepared for figures lower than ever, suddenly finds himself...
