Book Description
Excerpt from Aubrey, Vol. 1 of 3 A long winding walk led along the front of the hill; it was adorned with a profusion of American shrubs, flourishing in all their surpassing beauty. Azalias, rhododendrons, and the lovely waxen kalmias were there, flourishing in the highest perfection. They formed thickets, -they throve into lofty shrubs, approaching the size of forest trees, while the grass beneath was enamelled with primroses, harebells, pink lychnis, and the sweet little cockle-shell stellaria struggling about among the undergrowth.

Book Description
Excerpt from Aubrey, Vol. 2 of 3 The ladies who had to leave the course in this carriage, were hurried into it in a very unceremonious manner by the son of one, and brother of the other - He, who had them in charge, knowing that it was incumbent upon him to see them safely in, before he left the course, which he was in a great hurry to do. Lord Algernon had entered the grand stand in an impatient manner, pushing with little ceremony through the crowd of men and women, now rapidly leaving the place; the royalties having departed some quarter of an hour ago. "Come, mother! - Come, Emma! - Where's Emma?" "Why are you in such a prodigious hurry, Algernon. - There is abundance of time. - Wait a little till the people have had time to defile down stairs - You know I detest that pushing and knocking about, which one gets among a crowd of women - the rudest and most brutal of all crowds, I think; - besides, do you not see that the horses are not yet brought up. - Wait till the carriage comes to the door."

Book Description
"Fine stuff...[The Letter of Marque] leaves the devotee of naval fiction eager for sequels." —Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World Captain Jack Aubrey, a brilliant and experienced officer, has been struck off the list of post-captains for a crime he did not commit. His old friend Stephen Maturin, usually cast as a ship’s surgeon to mask his discreet activities on behalf of British Intelligence, has bought for Aubrey his former ship the Surprise to command as a privateer, more politely termed a letter of marque. Together they sail on a desperate mission against the French, which, if successful, may redeem Aubrey from the private hell of his disgrace. A nighttime battle with an unusual climax, a jewel of great value, and Maturin’s fondness for opium make this segment of Patrick O’Brian’s masterful series both original and profoundly exciting.
