Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Memories of the Sea When I was asked to write "a volume of autobiographical recollections" I felt somewhat staggered at the mere look of such a request, and even after taking time to consider it, and to suggest a more modest title, I felt considerable doubt as to whether anything I could write concerning my reminiscences of naval service during the latter half of the nineteenth century could be of sufficient interest to justify its publication, particularly as several superannuated old sailors, with far more distinguished careers than I have had, have lately been giving their "autobiographical recollections" to the public. But yet, on further consideration, and feeling that I was an unhappy victim of that universal - yes, universal - vanity of loving to hear the sound of my own voice and of seeing myself in print, I have succumbed to this temptation - as to many others, perhaps less innocent.
