Doubled Prefixes

Authors

Edward R. Wolpow

Abstract

Herman Melville's Moby Dick is prefaced by a section entitled Extracts, consisting of eighty quotations about whales and the author's acknowledgement of the efforts of a Sub-Sub-Librarian, referred to subsequently as a "poor devil of a Sub-Sub". Despite the impeccable credentials of this source, neither word appears in Webster's Second or Third.
