Book excerpt: Excerpt from O'er the Atlantic, or a Journal of a Voyage to and From Europe A few years after my father's death, I went to live with my grandmother, on the maternal side, and continued under her broad apron and protection until the time arrived for me to choose for myself the business or occupation in which I was to carve my way through this old world. Grandmothers, as you are no doubt well aware, generally spoil the members of the succeeding generation, and if any boy was petted or spoiled, it was my humble self but with a good intent, for she invariably rebuked me when saying or doing wrong. It was her warm, kind generous nature that revolted against the use of the rod, and the fault (if any) was in her being too indulgent, for kindness does much to train youth in the way they should go. I am no believer in spare the rod and spoil the child. Kindness begets love, and love begets obedience. Timely and good advice well given is, in my estimation, worth all the birch rods in the country. The parent, in my opinion, onlv harden youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Daring Voyage: Across the Atlantic Ocean Gazing from the height out on to the broad Atlantic, beyond the numerous islands on the coast, one of the brothers broke a long silence by saying to the other, Let us cross the old ocean in one of these Dories, pointing down to a number of boats that lay moored almost under where they were sitting. Give me your hand, said the other, I'll go with you; and they Shook hands, agreeing to make the voyage. It was a sudden impulse, but the purpose was formed, and they kept to it. They re solved to wait till the following year, and to start in June, which was thought the best time for so great a voyage. The winter would afford leisure for preparation, and especially for perfecting such knowledge of navigation as would suffice for the under taking.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of a Voyage for the Discovery of a North-West Passage From the Atlantic to the Pacific: Performed in the Years 1819-90, in His Majesty's Ships Hecla and Griper The ships were completely furnished with' provisions and stores for a period of two years; in addition to which, a large supply of fresh meats and soups, preserved in tin cases, by Messrs. Donkin and Gamble, of Burkitt's essence of malt and hops, and of the essence of spruce, was also put on board, besides a number of other extra stores adapted to cold climates and a long voyage. The anti scorbutics consisted of lemon-juice (which forms a part of the. Daily rations on board His Majesty's ships), vinegar, sour-krout, pickles, and herbs; and the whole of the provisions, which were of the very best quality, were stowed in preserve them from moisture or other injury. As a matter of experiment, asmall quantity of vinegar, in a highly-concentrated state, recommended and prepared by Doctor Bollman, was also put on board, and was found Of essential service, the greater part of the com mon kind being destroyed by the severity of the frost. In order to save stowage, only a small proportion of biscuit was received; flour, which had been previously kiln-dried with great care, being substituted in its place. For the purpose of baking for the daily con sumption of the crews during the winter months, a portable oven was furnished to the Hecla; and after a good leaven. Had been once obtained, we found no difficulty in baking light and wholesome bread. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ninety Days Worth of Europe I am to say, in a prefatory note to this work, that I have as great a contempt for books of travel as I ever had, and quite as much for this book as I have for any of the class. I have also to say to the public, that I have no wish that they should buy it, take it out of Loring's Library at two cents a day, or out of the City Library for nothing. Still less do I advise them to read a word in it, by any accident whatever. But I find, that in six months, since I returned from a very happy little dash across Europe, I have had constant occasion to lend to friends the letters which I sent home, or the note-books and scrap-books which I brought home. I am also constantly referring to them myself for the chastening of the imaginative side of my memory, and the stimulating of its drowsy side. It will be much more convenient to recur to these memorials in print than in their original manuscript; and for this private and personal purpose, here on a New-Hampshire hillside, at too high a level to be hot, and too far from men to be interrupted, on this lovely July day, I begin the arrangement for the press of these pages. They are dedicated to that circle of friends who would have been glad to look over them in manuscript. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of His First Voyage to America The so-called Journal of Columbus is one of those bare, spare, essential documents that form the skeleton of the corpus of history. It is a simple sailor's record, but like the staff of Colum bus 's patron saint it has grown with time into a palm-tree, covered with fruits and foliage. The narrative is an abstract of the original journal (made by the Admiral's companion Las Casas.) It is as direct and outwardly severe as such a work would necessarily be; and yet from this seed have sprung histories, biographies, novels, plays and poems innumerable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contraband: A Romance of the North Atlantic Even the brief view I had obtained of the boat impressed me strongly, both with its beauty, and sea going qualities. I was sailor enough to appreciate all this at a glance. The Esmeralda was quite evi dently the last word in marine construction - a play thing to a man to whom expense meant little. I was aboard a steam yacht, schooner-rigged aloft, of over fifteen-hundred tons, constructed for deep-water cruis ing, well-manned, and able to combat the storms of any ocean. Within, the furnishings were rich and tasteful, while the manner in which she slipped through the waters evidenced the mighty power of the engines. Within my stateroom the vibrations of the screw were scarcely perceptible, yet already we must have been traveling seaward at fifteen knots.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having a large circle of friends who feel interested in my American trip, the propriety of publishing my observations, to avoid going over the same ground again and again, was suggested by one of them—a hint with which I have complied.I can say, with the strictest truth, that I have not revised or altered any impression formed at the moment. Indeed, I never saw these Notes from the time they were written till they passed through the press.Change of scene, and a new current of thoughts, with the blessing of Providence, have worked a considerable improvement in my health—a mercy for which I shall ever feel grateful; and while I prize the high privileges of the land of my birth, and feel proud to be an Englishman, I hope ever to regard our Transatlantic brethren with respect, and do full justice to the extensive wonders of America.
