Excerpt from A Master of Fortune The river came tumbling over the weir, with its summer waters all at play and foaming; and it was there, moved by the genius of the place, hanging by his left shoulder to the old punt moored out in the tumultuous stream, that the silent Carteret spoke words which amazed his friend.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Pirate, And, the Fortunes of Nigel With these purposes of public utility, and some personal amusement, in View, we left the port of Leith on the 26th July, 1814, ran along the east coast of Scotland, viewing its different curiosities, stood over to Zetland and Orkney, where we were some time detained by the wonders of a country which displayed so much that was new to us; and having seen what was curious in the Ultima Thule of the ancients, Where the sun hardly thought it worth while to go to bed, since his rising was at this season so early, we doubled the extreme northern termination of Scotland, and took a rapid survey of the Hebrides, where we found many kind friends. There, that our little expedition might not want the dignity of danger, we were favored with a distant glimpse of what was said to be an American cruiser, and had opportunity to consider What a pretty figure we should have made had the voyage ended in our being carried captive to the United States. After visiting the romantic shores of Morven and the vicinity of Oban, we made a run to the coast of Ireland and visited the Giant's Causeway, that we might compare it with Staffa, which we had surveyed in our course. At length, about the middle of September, we ended our voyage in the Clyde, at the port of Greenock.* And thus terminated our pleasant tour, to which our equip ment gave unusual facilities, as the ship's company could form a strong boat's crew, independent of those who might be left on board the vessel, which permitted us the freedom to land wherever our curiosity carried us. Let me add, while reviewing for a moment a sunny portion of my life, that among the six or seven friends who performed this voyage together, some of them doubtless of different tastes and pur suits, and remaining for several weeks on board a small ves sel, there never occurred the slightest dispute or disagree ment, each seeming anxious to submit his own particular Wishes to those of his friends. By this mutual accommoda tion all the purposes of our little expedition were attained, While for a time we might have adopted the lines of Allan Cunningham's fine sea-song.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Steam-Boat Having been for several years in what Mrs. Maclecket, my worthy landlady, calls a com plaining way, I was persuaded by her advice to tr the benefit of the sea air in the steam-boat to reenock; and I found myself greatly ad vantaged by the same. I am not, however, sure that the benefit which my strength and ap petite received in those sea voyages was so much owing to the change of air, and the wholesome fume of the salt-water that I breath ed, as from the conversible and talkative com pany which I found among the other passen gers; by which my Spirits were maintained in a state jocund temperance, and my thoughts so lifted out of the cares of business, that I was, for the time, a new. Creature, bringing back with me to behind the counter a sort of youth thiness that lasted sometimes more than a fort night; keeping ofl' what Mrs. Maclecket called the hypochonders, till I again fell out of order.

Book Description
Excerpt from Francis' Metallic Life-Boat Company It is to be regretted that no record has been kept of the number of lives already saved by these humane and benevolent arrangements. We can confidently state, however, that not less than 2000 human beings have by these arrangements been rescued from a watery grave. Yet how much is left to be done and we trust the Association will press forward the good work. NO labor Of pure philanthropy, undertaken in the right spirit, was ever allowed to languish for want of means, and it cannot be supposed that the cause of the preservation Of life from shipwreck will not find a hearty support. But this only applies to our coast, and after all we look to the owners and captains Of vessels for their interest in the cause, to their sound discretion and to their humanity of purpose. To them we would say, the Metallic Life-boat commends itself to their consideration for the following, among numerous other, reasons. Next to the ship the Life-boat is the only means Of safety to the crew and passengers, says Captain Charles L. Moses, of the Bark Henry, in his letter to his owners, dated San Francisco, March 22, 1852. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
