Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Trip of the Steamer Oceanus to Fort Sumter and Charleston, S. C The preparation of this book, whatever may be its reception by those to whom it is dedicated, has been a labor of love. Unsought, and almost under protest, the work was undertaken, at the unanimous request of the passengers of the "Oceanus." It was an addition to stated professional duties, which the committee appointed were exceedingly reluctant to accept. But, once begun, it brought its reward continually, in the joy of living over again minutely, every scene which made the excursion to Charleston the most memorable as to object, enjoyment and inspiration, which our national history has ever made possible. The work effects no faultlessness. In the brief space during which it was composed, there was little opportunity for elaboration, ft professes to be, not a treatise upon national affairs, nor yet a discussion of principles, but a current, unimaginative, and therefore we trust, a perfectly truthful narration of scenes and incidents, from the hour the "Oceanus" left the wharf, until she brought us there again. The writers describe not oidy what was seen and enjoyed by themselves, but by hundreds of others, who are asked to bear witness to the faithfulness of these records.
