Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Madame De Malguet, Vol. 1: A Tale of 1820 It was the Secretary's levee day at the Admiralty, and the waiting-room was crowded. What a mass of fears and sorrows, hope and doubt, did the petty compass of those four walls enclose! Two o'clock, and still many an applicant loitered in the hope of an audience, eagerly pressing forward to get "the next turn" at the successive exit of each luckier wight whose name had stood higher on the waiting list. But the messenger, that true bred official Cerberus, was inexorable, and telling the expectant throng that "Gentlemen must have patience," he singled the next in regular succession with an imperturbable coolness, which could only have been gained under a twenty years' experience of levee day execrations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Madame De Malguet, Vol. 1: A Tale of 1820 Many remember, and all may conceive, what was the struggle, after the war in 1820, the epoch of our tale, for naval employment. Veteran officers urged their wounds and gallant services; ministerial sup porters, borough interest and parliamentary influence; the Lady Elizas and Augustas pleaded in favour of birth, connection, and high family; their husbands, fathers, and brothers more than hinted in those high Tory days at possible equivalents for kindnesses, at job for job; and the First Lord of the Admiralty helped his own friends, and answered the rest in turn by referring to naval reductions and a peace establishment. In the mire of jobbery that then existed, the modest merit of thousands of the vigorous and serviceable class of officers was trodden down and lost. It looked well to give a ship now and then to some old battered sea-dog, and moreover staved off the necessity of a pension; while under this occasional bonus to public Opinion it was convenient and profitable to serve court and cabinet, the boudoir and the bureaucracy, by pro motions such as it pleased them to dictate. This was the reason, I am inclined to think, Why John Merrick could not get a ship. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
