1In behalf of the dignity of whaling, I would fain advance naught but substantiated facts. But after embattling his
2facts, an advocate who should wholly suppress a not unreasonable surmise, which might tell eloquently upon his
3cause--such an advocate, would he not be blameworthy? It is well known that at the coronation of kings and queens, even
4modern ones, a certain curious process of seasoning them for their functions is gone through. There is a saltcellar of
5state, so called, and there may be a castor of state. How they use the salt, precisely--who knows? Certain I am,
6however, that a king's head is solemnly oiled at his coronation, even as a head of salad. Can it be, though, that they
7anoint it with a view of making its interior run well, as they anoint machinery? Much might be ruminated here,
8concerning the essential dignity of this regal process, because in common life we esteem but meanly and contemptibly a
9fellow who anoints his hair, and palpably smells of that anointing. In truth, a mature man who uses hair-oil, unless
10medicinally, that man has probably got a quoggy spot in him somewhere. As a general rule, he can't amount to much in his
11totality. But the only thing to be considered here, is this--what kind of oil is used at coronations? Certainly it
12cannot be olive oil, nor macassar oil, nor castor oil, nor bear's oil, nor train oil, nor cod-liver oil. What then can
13it possibly be, but sperm oil in its unmanufactured, unpolluted state, the sweetest of all oils? Think of that, ye loyal
14Britons! we whalemen supply your kings and queens with coronation stuff!
