Rose late: there was music in the night, which is always a strange enchantment to me. After breakfast, wrote journal. At eleven, Captain and called for us; and my uncle having joined us, we proceeded to the slip, as they call the places where the ships lie, and which answer to our docks. Poor dear Pacific! I ran up her side with great glee, and was introduced to Captain, her old commander; rushed down into my berth, and was actually growing pathetic over the scene of my sea-sorrows, when Mr. clapped his hands close lo me, and startled me out of my reverie. Certainly my adhesiveness must either be very large, or uncommonly active just now, for my heart yearned towards the old timbers with exceeding affection. The old ship was all drest out in her best, and after sitting for some time in our cabin, we adjourned to the larger one and lunched. Mr. joined our party; and we had one or two of our old ship songs, with their ridiculous burdens, with due solemnity. Saw Mr., but not dear M.. Visited the forecastle, whence I have watched such glorious sunsets, such fair uprisings of the starry sisterhood; now it looked upon the dusty quay and dirty dock water, and the graceful sails were all stripped away, and the bare masts.and rigging shone in the intense sunlight. Poor good ship! I wish to Heaven my feel were on her deck, and her prow turned to the east. I would not care if the devil himself drove a hurricane at our backs. Visited the fish and fruit markets: (') it was too late in the day to see either to advantage, but the latter reminded me of Aladdin's treasure: the heaps of peaches, filling with their rich downy balls high baskets ranged in endless rows, and painted of a bright vtr (') The fish of these waters may be excellent...

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of a Residence in America A preface appears to me necessary to this book, in order that the expectation with which the English reader might Open it should not be disappointed. Some curiosity has of late been excited in England with regard to America its political existence is a momentous experiment, upon which many eyes are fixed, in anxious watching of the result; and such ao counts as have been published of the customs and manners of its societies, and the natural wonders and beauties of its scenery, have been received and read with considerable interest in Europe. This being the case, I should be loth to present these volumes to the English public without disclaiming both the intention and the capability of adding the slightest detail of any interest to those which other travellers have already furnish ed upon these subjects. This book is, what it professes to be, my personal journal, and not a history or a description of men and manners in the United States. Engaged in an arduous profession, and travelling from city to city in its exercise, my leisure and my Opportunities would have been alike inadequate to such a task. The portion of America which I have visited has been a very small one, and, I imagine, by no means that from which the most interesting details are to be drawn. I have been neither to the south _nor west; consequently have had no opportunity of seeing two large portions of the population of this country, - the enterprising explorers of the late wildernesses on the shores of the Mississippi, and the black race of the slave states, - both classes of men presenting peculiarities of infinite interest to the traveller the one, a source of energy and growing strength, the other, of disease and decay, in this vast political body.

Download or read book Fanny Kemble s Journal written by Frances Anne Kemble and published by Bandanna Books. This book was released on 2015-10-09 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A personal indictment of the institute of slavery in the Southern United States, as witnessed directly by Fanny Kemble, a British actress in 1838 and 1839. Her husband, the heir to the plantations in Georgia, however, forebade her to publish this material on pain of never seeing her daughters again. She complied, until the two daughters had reached the age of 21, and then allowed the journal to be published in 1863, when the Northern troops were already present along the coast near the Altamaha River, where the plantations were located. In a very personal way, she relates her many varied experiences, efforts to make life easier for the slaves despite her husband's stubborn resistance. As an English citizen, she had seen the total end of slavery throughout the British Empire in 1833, just a few years before her journey to Georgia. She ends her account with a stirring defense of Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, which had raised such a storm of controversy in the United States. Like Stowe, Kemble sees all sides of the situation, with her eyes and with her heart.
