Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Forecastle to the Pulpit: Fifty Years Among Sailors, Containing an Account of a Wonderful Revival Upon the Sea A few of the many Testimonials received by the Author from persons who have read the manuscript and advance sheets, are here submitted to the reader. From the Rev. Adam McClelland, D.D., Professor in the German Seminary, Dubuque, Iowa. "Your book is exceptionally excellent in its style and contents. The divine, the merchant, the seaman, the lover of travel and thrilling incidents; in a word, all who study the ways of God to man will find 'From the Forecastle to the Pulpit' a very interesting and helpful book." From the Rev. Howard Crosby, D.D., LL.D. "I have read your book with intense interest. You have brought graphically before the reader the personal experiences of many sinners converted to God, a testimony of great power and value to convince others. Such books should be read by Christians, with which to refresh their souls, and to meditate on Gods saving grace, instead of the philosophical books which only touch the intellect, and make no impression on the life." From the Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, D.D., Brooklyn, N.Y. "This volume is crammed with facts and incidents, showing how the gospel has rescued hundreds from spiritual shipwreck. If the book has intereed me, how much more will it interest those for whom my beloved brother has prepared it! It ought to go into every forecastle and bring Christ with it. May your newly launched craft catch the gales of the Spirit, and convoy many sailors to the 'desired haven!' She is well ballasted with truth, and has Gods lamp in the binnacle. God bless her!"

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Off Duty: A Dozen Yarns for Soldiers and Sailors In my work here at Petham Bay Camp with our wounded from abroad, with our sick boys who did not get "over there," and with the well but often lonely men, who frequent our library, I have discovered a distinct need for some collection of the best stories, especially adapted to the "genus homo." To meet tills want, I have prepared this compilation for our soldiers and sailors, and incidentally for all to read who will. Work with our American youth is most inspiring because of his open mind, his courage, and his great appreciation of any service rendered him. This fact I have learned through becoming acquainted with the brave lads on the hospital cots at Pelham, who have needed help in whiling away the long hours of waiting. In all camps there are many men not acquainted with books. My aim has been to introduce them to some of our best writers, knowing that friendship and liking would soon follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sailor Hanging from the wall of the house beyond was a dirty oil lamp round which the fog circled in a hundred spectral shapes. Seen by its light, she was not pleasant to look upon. Bare-armed, bare-headed, savage chest half bare and sagging in festoons, she stood stayless and unashamed, breathing gin and wickedness. A grin of quiet joy was upon her alcoholic countenance. Nay, more than joy. It was a light of inward ecstasy, and sprang from the fact that a heavy carter's whip was in her hand. Not many feet from the spot on which she stood was the wall of a neighbor's house. Crouching against it so that he was scarcely visible in the darkness was a boy of thirteen. Without stockings or shoes, he wore only a filthy shirt, a thing that had once been a jacket, and a tattered lower gar ment which left his thighs half naked.

Download or read book From Howard to Nelson written by John Knox Laughton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Howard to Nelson: Twelve Sailors It is indeed true that the young navy, composed, as it was, of ships which could not keep the sea, was vastly stronger for attack than for defence; that at first, it was quite unequal to ward off invasion and that, even after the reconstruction by Alfred, or the reorganization by Ethelred, it was not the sure safeguard which it eventually became. Like other national institutions, it had its ups and its downs; but at a very early period in our history, men recognized that the security of the kingdom was based on its navy. When, in 1213, the Earl of Salisbury captured or burnt the whole of the French fleet at Damme when, in 1217, Hubert de Burgh destroyed the French fleet off Sandwich; when Edward III annihilated the French fleet at Sluys in 1340, or crushed the Spaniards off Winchelsea in 1350, there was no doubt in the minds of our forefathers that the navy was the wall and fence of the kingdom. But now, wrote Capgrave in the evil days of Henry VI. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
