Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Stories of the Sea: Told by Sailors This is the second volume in a series of which the first was called Stories of War Told by Soldiers. It is proposed to continue the series with "Stories of Discovery" and "Stories of Adventure." The first volume has been kindly received by the public and by the press. But I have observed a certain misconception of the object in view, which shows that I ought to have stated the plan more distinctly than I thought necessary. In that flattering tone which is, perhaps, too frequent in the criticisms of our time, it has been intimated that if in the "Stories of War" here were not so many extracts from General Grant, General Sheridan, General Sherman, and the rest, it would be better. If Mr. Hale would have written the stories "in his own matchless style," - or "his crisp style" is a favorite phrase, whatever that may mean, - he book would be improved, it has been said. To which suggestions this is to be replied: That the precise object of these little books is to show intelligent young people how they may seek for themselves for the best original narratives, and the best historical reading. The plan was suggested at the Librarians Convention in Boston, in 1879. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
