Book Description
Excerpt from The World of the Sea "Le Monde de la Mer" was published in Paris some years ago; it was the work of M. Moquin Tandon, but for sundry reasons he substituted the pseudonyme of Frédol for his own name. The most prominent of those reasons no longer now remaining, we are not betraying a trust in divulging the author's real name. The work is not intended to be exhaustive, but it is an ample review of the ocean world. At every point of interest in the submarine landscape the pen of the author has lingered. The reader is not led into this wondrous world by the hand of rigid science, to find all strictly classified and labelled with a technical nomenclature; but the guide, as he passes through the mazes of the watery depths, points out everything which can arrest the attention: describing the habits and instincts of the denizens of the sea, entering into their home-life, examining the process of their development, the work assigned to them in the great scheme of life, and the connection they have with man. Neither does life itself absorb all his attention, for he fails not to enter into the physical history of an element so totally different to that in which we exist. The waves, the currents, the tides, find a place in his description; and, passing northward, he leads us to the land of silence, where the sea, at the touch of the Wintry King, has congealed into fields of ice and stately bergs.
