Notes:

This table of contents reflects the edition of 1856, although the dot leaders used in the original have been omitted due to limitations of XHTML. In the original, “Pym” is not divided into sections. These sections are given here to permit a convenient breaking up of a very large block of text. The burning lamp, within a circle formed by a “hoop snake” was a trademark Redfield adopted about 1853. It appears above the publisher's name on the title page of many of their books. A burning lamp has long been a symbol for bringing knowledge. The significance here of the “hoop snake,” a creature of folklore, is obscure. Usually, the snake faces counter-clockwise and the lamp points to the right. On this one volume, for some reason, the image is inverted.
