Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sir Edw; Seaward´s Narrative of His Shipwreck, Vol. 1 of 2: And Consequent Discovery of Certain Islands in the Caribbean Sea In 1831, the first edition of this work was published. Several editions of it have since succeeded; during which time, many discussions have occurred, between reviews and other periodicals, respecting the identity of the islands wherein the principal scenes of Sir Edward Seaward´s Narrative took place. Some of those reviewers, doubting even the islands´ existence, concluded the whole to be a total fiction of the Editor´s fancy; and ended with a no gentle animadversion besides, on her presumption, (as they inferred,) in attempting to insinuate a work of her own invention, upon the Public, as a true story. A sweeping blame, had there been any justice in it, that must have included no less names than those of Daniel de Foe, and Sir Walter Scott, in the sentence of literary delinquency. She, however, had written a Preface to her work: and, to those who chose to disbelieve its language, she did not return any response to their charges; but left the facts of her data to be proved, in the progress of time; and the verification of her land and sea marks, by some probable actual observation, perhaps at no very distant period, of a more widely-spreading political and commercial international relations than then existed; which might carry the enterprising mariners of England, to every nook of the ocean´s boundaries.
