Book Description
Excerpt from A Winter in the West Indies: Described in Familiar Letters to Henry Clay, of Kentucky In company with Mahlon Day, a highly respectable? citizen of New-York, and a young friend, who kindly undertook to act as our attendant and helper, I sailed from that city on the 22nd of last Eleventh-month, (November.) in the Camilla, Captain Watlington. Our ships company consisted of about twenty individuals, (mostly in search of a warmer climate and better health) who had taken their passage, in this accommodating little ship, for Santa Cruz. The fine, but cold, frosty day, on which we left your shoresi, gave them a sufficient warning, that the season was at hand, when the rigor of a North American winter would become dangerous. At the same time, it afforded such of us as were in good health a delightful opportunity - as we swept along under full sail - of observing, under the brightest aspect, the rare beauty of the harbor of New-York, the bay, and the neighboring islands. We had not continued our voyage more than three days, before we found ourselves in a genial climate. The thermometer stood at 70, and light clothing gradually came into requisition. The change was almost magical, and certainly it was no small luxury thus insensibly to glide into warmth, and as it were, to catch summer again by the skirts. We were now crossing "the Gulph Stream," where it is said to have a breadth of two hundred and fifty miles, and the temperature of the air was probably heightened by the heat of the waves below. To account for this enormous current of warm water which runs up from the Gulph of Mexico, in a north-easterly direction, to so great a distance, seems to be nearly impossible. What the causes are which occasion the magnitude of the current, and the heat of the water, seems to be mere matter of conjecture; but its beneficial effect in melting the ice, and unlocking the harbors, of North America, affords one evidence among ten thousand, that even the wildest sports of nature are subservient to good and wise purposes, in the order of a benevolent Providence. Boisterous weather and a strong adverse gale, were our portion as we crossed "the Gulph." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Brethren of the Coast: A Tale of the West Indies To remind him always that he is an American! Cried the delighted father. And his name shall be Theophilus William, which was that of his grand father, as true a Yankee as ever trod free soil. Lesbia, for this news thou shalt have thy' freedom within an hour; for none but a free woman may nurse my boy. The woman drew herself up to her full stature, and into her eyes flashed a light that could never shine from those of a slave. Such a gift is beyond thanks, my master; but with my life will I serve thee and him. No longer thy master, Lesbia, but thy friend. Now tell me if I may see him? My friend, I will fetch him that thy eyes may look into his, answered the black woman, with the graciousness of one who confers a royal favor. Then she turned, and, with head proudly uplifted, looking neither to right nor left, she entered the house with the air of a princess.

Book Description
Excerpt from Six Months in the West Indies IN this edition I have inserted a note and a few verses, but omitted nothing. The book pleased with all its faults, and with all its faults it shall remain. But in this awful crisis of our country, when the right hand of the colonial power of Eng land is hacked at with a pertinacious hatred, of which there is no example in the history of domestic treason or foreign hostility, I will no longer scruple the expedience of putting the author's humble name to a work, which was written in a deep conviction of the immense importance of the rest Indies to our maritime superiority, and of the truth of the political views of which, in respect of the conduct of the Abolitionists, the events of every day and hour more and more persuade me.
