Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the American Whale Fishery Whaling was once a great industry in the United States. Whole communities were dependent on its success. When voyages were successful there was prosperity and plenty. When voyages failed there was hardship and hunger. Fortunes were made and lost. The foundation of many a stately old mansion in New England rests on oil and bone. But whaling was not a passing boom, not a thing apart from all other interests, not local in nature and local in effect. Its in uence as a social and economic factor was widespread. Whaling was a unit in a great whole - a part of the vast industrial interests of a growing country. It is so no longer. Whal ing is practically dead. The almost complete cycle of whaling activity is a good lesson in economics - the lesson of a ourishing enterprise quickly wiped out by changing economic conditions. The history of whaling forms an important chapter in the commercial history of the United States. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
