SEQUEL

NOTE.—The Author of “Typee” was more than two years in the South Seas, after escaping from the valley, as recounted in the last chapter. Some time after returning home the foregoing narrative was published, though it was little thought at the time that this would be the means of revealing the existence of Toby, who had long been given up for lost. But so it proved. The story of his escape supplies a natural sequel to the adventure, and as such it is now added to the volume. It was related to the Author by Toby himself.

CHAPTER VII.	A gentleman with gold sleeve-buttons.
CHAPTER VIII.	A charitable lady.
CHAPTER IX.	Two business men transact a little business.
CHAPTER X.	In the cabin.
CHAPTER XI.	Only a page or so.
CHAPTER XII.	The story of the unfortunate man, from which may be gathered whether or no he has been justly so entitled.
CHAPTER XIII.	The man with the traveling-cap evinces much humanity, and in a way which would seem to show him to be one of the most logical of optimists.
CHAPTER XIV.	Worth the consideration of those to whom it may prove worth considering.
CHAPTER XV.	An old miser, upon suitable representations, is prevailed upon to venture an investment.

CHAPTER XXIV.	A philanthropist undertakes to convert a misanthrope, but does not get beyond confuting him.
CHAPTER XXV.	The Cosmopolitan makes an acquaintance.
CHAPTER XXVI.	Containing the metaphysics of Indian-hating, according to the views of one evidently not so prepossessed as Rousseau in favor of savages.

CHAPTER XXXIV.	In which the Cosmopolitan tells the story of the gentleman-madman.
CHAPTER XXXV.	In which the Cosmopolitan strikingly evinces the artlessness of his nature.
CHAPTER XXXVI.	In which the Cosmopolitan is accosted by a mystic, whereupon ensues pretty much such talk as might be expected.
CHAPTER XXXVII.	The mystical master introduces the practical disciple.
CHAPTER XXXVIII.	The disciple unbends, and consents to act a social part.
CHAPTER XXXIX.	The hypothetical friends.
CHAPTER XL.	In which the story of China Aster is, at second-hand, told by one who, while not disapproving the moral, disclaims the spirit of the style.

CHAPTER XLII.	Upon the heel of the last scene, the Cosmopolitan enters the barber's shop, a benediction on his lips.

CHAPTER XLV.	The Cosmopolitan increases in seriousness.
