Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Whaleman´s Adventures in the Southern Ocean The following pages comprise, in substance, the private notes of a pious and observant American clergyman, whilst embarked, on account of his health, on a whaling voyage to the South Seas and Pacific Ocean. Whilst the original work was in progress, a copy came into the hands of the present publishers, who, considering the matter of it to be novel and interesting, as well as calculated for conveying useful moral impressions, applied to the Editor in respect to his approval of it, with a view to his superintendence of an edition for the British public. Finding, on undertaking this task - which the sound and excellent character and lively spirit of the work inclined him to do - that revision and alteration would be necessary to adapt it for the class of readers designed; application was made to the Author (the Rev. Henry T. Cheever) for the requisite permission, which was so fully and frankly conceded, as to leave the discretion and taste of the Editor quite unfettered.
