[Footnote M:  The Fire Alarm is the invention of Dr. William F. Channing: 

    “A wizard of such dreaded fame,
      That when in Salamanca’s cave,
      Him listed his magic wand to wave,
    The bells would ring in Notre Dame”]

[Footnote N:  I am proud to say that such suggestions have had so much weight, that in 1868 the alarm strikes the number of the box which first telegraphs danger, six-four, six-four, &c., six being the district number, and four the box number in that district.]

[Footnote O:  Tetrao lagopus.]

[Footnote P:  Which means, “In the thirteenth century,” my dear little bell and coral reader.  You have rightly guessed that the question means “What is the history of the Reformation in Hungary?”]
