Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from And Essays for the Forecastle: Containing Matters and Incidents, Humorous, Pathetic, Romantic, and Sentimental The matter contained in this work was written at intervals during the past few years. Many of the stories and essays were originally published in the Boston Mercantile Journal, and met with such favor from the public, from landsmen as well as from seamen, as to induce the author to revise them, and consent to their re-publication. Some of these articles were intended to be merely amusing; others were intended to impress on the mind of the reader the duties of a seaman, and a man on shore as well as on the ocean; and others again, were designed to inculcate principles of sound morality. Most of the narratives were founded on fact, and it is believed that they contain nothing which can be reasonably objected to on the score of propriety or virtue. It will be seen that the conversations on ship-board, which are frequently detailed in these pages, are free from all language, allusions, or phrases, bordering on indelicacy or profanity, and which are often put into the mouth of the sailor, to the great disgust, of course, of all readers whose minds are well disciplined. The author considered this necessary, not only from respect to the moral sense of the community, but in justice to the sailor.
