Excerpt from The Life of a Sailor, Vol. 1 of 2
In offering the following pages to the public, I cannot be actuated by overgrown vanity, nor instigated by an thor-like ambition some portion of my work has, in another form, already been published, and now appears with some of the scenes of a Sailor's Life enlarged, and rendered, I hope, more interesting. Every scene is a scene of real life, not exaggerated but the events which are here recorded actually occurred, and I may say truly.
