Book Description
Excerpt from The Old Country Trade of the East Indies To all lovers of old ships the "Country Trade'' has ever presented an inexhaustible field of interest, the East Indies having found employment for almost every known description of vessel, in every stage of existence, - from the "crack" new teak-built ship, fresh from the hands of the Kidderpore or Damaun builders, to the ancient crock, wearily completing its last term of crazy decrepitude. Within the memory of the present generation have been seen, locally employed in the East, vessels of the most incongruous origin, though, in their "sere and yellow leaf," harmonising peacefully together in the same trade. The ' Lady Melville, ' formerly one of Green's famous "Black-wall " liners; the ' Suffolk, ' from Money Wigram; the ' Merchantman, ' a bitter rival, formerly one of Somes's frigate-built ships, were often to be seen in the "country tiers " in the Hooghly, perhaps alongside of the lowly 'Bleng, ' built at Whitehaven in 1841 to humbly follow the avocation of a collier, - now out here in company with ships which in their time carried out the Governor-General. The 1 Constance, ' formerly one of the Honourable Company's armed cruisers, was a frequent visitor to Calcutta, (her main-mast was one of the longest single sticks I have ever seen), perhaps alongside the ' Indomitable, ' which, launched from Sunderland in the "fifties' with great eclat to take her place in the service of the "Australian Auxiliary Screw-Clipper Co.," ended an interesting career out here.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Dutch East Indies: A Narrative of a Voyage to the Pacific and Indian Ocean It is a short ride to New Orleans, and there we should stop long enough to breathe the fragrance of its roses and jasmines - to see a little of its life around the French market, its great river commerce, the French opera, its old quarter and its new quarter, its quaint nooks and corners, interesting for their own sake and because so unlike our own Chicago. From New Orleans to Florida. We did not include this part of our contem plated tour because it is all the style for bridal parties to take in San Augustine and the opening of the Ponce de Leon, but for the real enjoyment of its indolent climate, for a longer stay among the semi-tropical fruits and flowers, for its ocean beaches, fanned by the soft breezes from the Gulf. Will had purchased his out fit for tarpon fishing, and it was quite a sacrifice for him to give up the big tarpon he was going to catch.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoir of Mrs. Charlotte Sutton: A Missionary to Orissa, East Indies Although she was spared to the writer for so brief a period, and her early removal blighted the spring and prospects of his early life, yet he has never ceased to feel grateful to God for his permission to enjoyher society, even for so short a time. Nothing he has ever met with, has so deeply convinced his mind of the reality and divin ity of our blessed religion, as its influence in forming the character of Charlotte Sutton. If such could be one of its lowly followers, what must its divine Author have been? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
