Book Description
Excerpt from Travel, War, and Shipwreck It struck me that I might add to my income by introducing my Nova Scotia snuff; SO I sent to a friend in Canada to forward me one or two hundred pounds' weight Of the root. With due care I had them pre pared according to the process I had learned, and then endeavoured to get some snuff dealers to bring the article before the public. All had but one answer Get one Of the Royal Family, some leading nobleman Of fashion, or some other distinguished person, to patro nise it, and your fortune is made.' Now, as I could obtain neither Of the former two, I at last thought, after Ihad pondered the subject over, Of the First Lord Of the Admiralty, who, as I knew by reputation, was an inveterate snuffer. But how was I to approach him on such a subject? For I hated to go near Whitehall even when in commission. At length it struck me' that my dear Old patron, formerly the Captain Of the Arethusa, who had for many years been an Admiral, would be the very person to give me a good introduction, as he must be'a favourite with the authorities, being then in command Of the Channel squadron.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
