Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passage from the book... "Never throw away a piece of string, a screw, or a nail, or neglect an opportunity, when it offers, of gaining knowledge or learning how to do a thing," my father used to say; and as I respected him, I followed his advice,-and have, through life, on many occasions had reason to be thankful that I did so.In the town near which we resided lived a tailor, Andrew Spurling by name. He was a remarkable man, though a mere botcher at his trade; for he could never manage to make his customers' clothes fit their bodies. For fat men he invariably made tight coats, and for thin people loose ones. Few, therefore, except those who were indifferent on that point, went a second time to him for new ones. He repaired clothes, however, to perfection, and never refused to attempt renovating the most threadbare or tattered of garments. He had evidently mistaken his vocation; or rather, his friends had committed a great error when they made him a tailor. Yet perhaps he succeeded as well in it as he would have done at any handicraft. He possessed, in fact, a mind which might have raised him to a respectable, if not a high position, in the walks of literature or science. As it was, however, it was concentrated on one object-the acquisition of languages.

Book excerpt: In 'Saved from the Sea; Or, The Loss of the Viper, and her Crew's Saharan Adventures' by William Henry Giles Kingston, readers are taken on a thrilling maritime journey filled with adventure and survival. The book is written in a descriptive and engaging literary style, allowing the reader to vividly imagine the harrowing experiences of the characters. Set in the rich literary context of maritime fiction in the 19th century, Kingston's work stands out for its detailed portrayal of the dangers at sea and the resilience of the human spirit. The story is not only about survival but also about the bond formed among the crew members in the face of adversity. William Henry Giles Kingston, a British naval officer turned author, drew upon his own experiences at sea to create a compelling narrative that captures the essence of maritime life. His firsthand knowledge of seafaring added authenticity to the story, making it a gripping and immersive read for readers of all ages. Kingston's background and expertise shine through in his meticulous depiction of nautical terms and practices, adding depth to the story. I highly recommend 'Saved from the Sea; Or, The Loss of the Viper, and her Crew's Saharan Adventures' to anyone interested in maritime literature, adventure stories, or historical fiction. Kingston's masterful storytelling and attention to detail make this book a captivating read that will transport you to the high seas and keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Book excerpt: “Never throw away a piece of string, a screw, or a nail, or neglect an opportunity, when it offers, of gaining knowledge or learning how to do a thing,” my father used to say; and as I respected him, I followed his advice,—and have, through life, on many occasions had reason to be thankful that I did so.In the town near which we resided lived a tailor, Andrew Spurling by name. He was a remarkable man, though a mere botcher at his trade; for he could never manage to make his customers' clothes fit their bodies. For fat men he invariably made tight coats, and for thin people loose ones. Few, therefore, except those who were indifferent on that point, went a second time to him for new ones. He repaired clothes, however, to perfection, and never refused to attempt renovating the most threadbare or tattered of garments. He had evidently mistaken his vocation; or rather, his friends had committed a great error when they made him a tailor. Yet perhaps he succeeded as well in it as he would have done at any handicraft. He possessed, in fact, a mind which might have raised him to a respectable, if not a high position, in the walks of literature or science. As it was, however, it was concentrated on one object—the acquisition of languages. Andrew had been sent to the grammar-school in our town, where he gained the rudiments of education, and a certain amount of Latin and Greek; and where he might, possibly, have become well-educated, had he not—his father dying insolvent—been taken from school, and, much to his grief, apprenticed to the trade he was now following.Instead of perfecting himself in the languages of which he already knew a little, and without a friend to guide him,—having saved up money enough to buy a grammar and dictionary,—he commenced the study of another; after mastering the chief difficulties of which he began still another; and so he had gone on through life, with the most determined perseverance, gaining even more than a smattering of the tongues not only of Europe but of the Eastern world, though he could make no practical use of his acquisitions.
