Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Sea-Shore: Or Random Sketches During the summer of 1845 a number of letters from Hull were published in the Boston Post, and, unexpectedly to the writer of them, attracted considerable attention, and some commendation. They were hastily written, to "kill time," at moments when it was inconvenient to fish, or to indulge in any of the other amusements so common at the numerous places of summer resort on the New-England sea-shore. Since their first appearance, the author of them has been repeatedly advised to publish the whole series, in pamphlet form; and, in accordance with the recommendation of his friends, he now throws before the reading public a work which, while it may contribute to the amusement and instruction of the votary of innocent pleasure, in his hours of leisure and recreation, he humbly trusts will give offence to no one. This work embraces not only the letters which appeared in the paper referred to, - as revised, and with copious additions, - but contains, also, several others, which were written about the same time, but which have not before been published: owing to the lateness of the travelling season, they were withheld by the writer of them, and have been seasoning ever since.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beyond the Sea-Rim Now one can travel extensively for little more than it costs to spend a few weeks at the coast during the summer vacation. A trip may be anything one chooses to make it -an item of social routine, an attempt to escape ennui, an outlet for surplus fortune. I write for those to whom travel means much more, the great number Who have more culture, perhaps, than money. To them it is an opportunity of getting the best return for a few hundred dollars that an intelligent and educated man could desire. Travellers Who must economise are generally those Who have a summer v professors, students, school teachers, ministers, and business men Who have earned a little freedom. They have, as a rule, the months of J uly and August at their disposal. They want to see the greatest foreign cities, famous cathedrals, the masterpieces of the world in painting, sculpture, and architecture, Splendid ruins, the landmarks of history, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Before embarking on his career as a writer, Cooper served in the U.S. Navy, which greatly influenced many of his novels. The novel that launched his career was The Spy, tale of espionage in Revolutionary War. He also wrote numerous sea stories, and his best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period known as the Leatherstocking Tales. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of the Mohicans.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life on the Ocean: Being Sketches of Personal Experience in the United States Naval Service, the American and British Merchant Marine, and the Whaling Service But sitting at home, by the fireside, among his friends, there is nothing to remind him of his past life the incitement is wanting - the yarn can't be spun. Not being able, in any other way, to gratify the wishes of certain of my young friends, I have endeavored here to jot down such reminiscences as will not, it is trusted, prove entirely uninteresting. To give a sailor's impressions of a sailor's life, nothing extenuating, nor aught setting down in malice, has been the aim. Neither exaggerating its hardships - they do not need it - nor highly coloring its delights, whatever those may be, the very plainest truth has been thought sufficient for the purpose in view.

Download or read book The Isles of the Pacific written by B. FRANCIS and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Isles of the Pacific: Or, Sketches From the South Seas Such have been'the day-dreams of the poet in many lands. Childhood, full of unconscious poetry, revels in stories of distant island homes, island mysteries, island researches. Nothing In the Arabian Nights' attracts its eager fancy more than the story of Sindbad the Sailor, with his strange experiences of wonder-teeming isles. Robinson Crusoe will be a fearful joy to the young while the English language lasts. Sir Edward Seward's Narrative, Penrose's Journal, a delightful book, now, alas-l out of print, and Masterman Ready, all recognised and ministered to this youthful passion for island adventures, and all were popular accordingly. The present volume is an attempt to convey to young readers a fair notion of the isles of the Pacific Ocean, of their principal clusters, and of the features which distinguish several of the most remarkable among them. They differ from each other so widely in climate, natural features, social and political condition, that even a few sketches, if tolerably faithful, will at least have the advantage of variety; while they may also serve to clear up a certain amount of confusion as to groups and races which exists, I believe, in young minds generally, and is not rare among children of a larger growth.
