Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Water Witch; Or the Skimmer of the Seas, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale Christendom is gradually extricating itself from the ignorance, ferocity, and crimes of the middle ages. It is no longer subject of boast that the hand which wields the sword never held a pen, and men have long since ceased to be ashamed of knowledge. The multiplied means of imparting principles and facts, and a more general diffusion of intelligence, have conduced to establish sounder ethics and juster practices throughout the whole civilized world. Thus he who admits the conviction, as hope declines with his years, that man deteriorates, is probably as far from truth as the visionary who sees the dawn of a golden age in the commencement of the nineteenth century.

On the contrary, the breeze still came from off the sea, and the brigantine in the cove, with the cruiser of the Queen, still lay at their anchors, like two floating habitations that were not intended to be removed.

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Water Witch or the Skimmer of the Seas a Tale It was a bold attempt to lay the scene of a work like this on the coast of America. We have had our Buccaneers on the water, and our Witches on the land, but we believe this is the first occasion on which the rule has been reversed. After an experience that has now lasted more than twenty years, the result has shown that the public prefer the original order of things. In other words, the book has proved a comparative failure. The facts of this country are all so recent, and so familiar, that every innovation on them, by means of the imagination, is coldly received, if it be not absolutely frowned upon. Perhaps it would have been safer to have written a work of this character without a reference to any particular locality. The few local allusions that are introduced are not essential to the plot, and might have been dispensed with without lessening the interest of the tale. Nevertheless, this is probably the most imaginative book ever written by the author. Its fault is in blending too much of the real with the purely ideal. Half-way measures will not do in matters of this sort; and it is always safer to preserve the identity of a book by a fixed and determinate character, than to make the effort to steer between the true and the false. Several liberties have been taken with the usages of the colony, with a view to give zest to the descriptions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Fenimore Cooper was a 19th century writer known for his historical romances and stories of the sea. His Leatherstocking tales including the novel The Last of the Mohicans are his best-known works. Around 1710 a fur merchant and New York alderman, Myndert Van Beverout, is intercepted on the street by Lord Cornbury, former governor of the colony who has fallen in disgrace from that high position. Cornbury has been imprisoned for his debts, but since he is a relative of Queen Anne he is allowed out in the evening and early mornings. In chapter 2 a stranger boards a ferry and asks the captain about maritime news. The captain says that there is the appearance in nearby waters of a mysterious ship known as the Water-Witch and commanded by a notorious rover identified only as "The Skimmer of the Seas."
