Book excerpt: In the tradition of Herman Melville's seafaring travel books comes this extraordinary recounting of one man's adventures across the Pacific Ocean from 1837-1849. Though he did not identify himself, other than as a merchant and longtime resident at Tahiti, he was clearly educated and a keen observer of all he saw and experienced.Through the Marquesas, the Marianas, Papeete, China, Tahiti, the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii), and eventually to San Francisco (which alone is worth the price of the book), our unnamed guide shares fascinating details about the topography, oceans, people, and flora and fauna of the South Pacific.Before travel became accessible to many, this was real adventure. Melville's "Moby Dick" was published the same year as this one and the British author gives his opinion of Melville's writing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rovings in the Pacific, From 1837-1849, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Glance at California The notes in the following pages have been copied, during the monotony of a protractal voyage, from the original entries, extending, as will be seen, over a series of years. The author has often been without sailing directions, and for the most part without charts, other than general ones of the Pacific; and as the results of his experience might save delay and doubt, to others similarly circumstanced, he has been recommended to submit them to the public. Wherever he could obtain the native names of Islands he has done so; they are spelt after the orthography of dialects in Polynesia; the vowels being accentuated as in France and other Conti neutal nations. The notes have undergone little alteration, addition, or subtraction, and but few rc marks have been interpolated. They are entirely without claim to literary merit but for the sake of easy reference, they have been divided into chapters, and furnished with such mottoes, more or less appli cable to the subject in hand, as the author's memory could supply. The interest which has more recentlyvi preface. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rovings in the Pacific, From 1837 to 1849, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Glance at California The author's days, it will be seen, have been passed, not in the idealities of life, but in its downright rough realities; and he is not without hope that this simple record of his experience may stimulate many a youth, whose energies are lying dormant for want of a field for their exertion in this densely peopled country, to seek, in the Isles of the Pacific, the home and the adventurous career which he is sure to find there, if he faint not. Should this be the case, the principal end which the author had in view, by publishing these notes, will be fully attained.
