Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Scheyichbi and the Strand, or Days Along the Delaware: With an Account of Recent Events at Sea Grove Every work should be justified by its usefulness and recommended by the manner of its performance. Criticism of literary style is averted from this little book, since nice elaboration of details, and smooth, consistent unity of parts, with a high degree of literary finish, are impossible in a volume made diverse by the requirements of its purpose and desultory by needful brevity. I have been disinterested in that of which I have written, and left entirely free to follow my own taste and judgment in regard to matter and manner, being bound in agreement with those concerned only that I should serve their purpose by "truthful representations" alone. Thus directed and encouraged in pursuing the course congenial to my feelings and conscience, I have tried to present only the facts of science and the truth of history, knowing them to be stranger than fiction, and in simple statement more wonderful and interesting than the most remarkable works of imagination. Although an observer of the things I have described so far as they exist in the present, it would be absurd to put forward any claim to original discovery. I have gathered from many sources, but think a display of authorities would be out of place; yet, it is true, I have been more inquisitive than the result may indicate. Errors are possible, even when care is taken to be accurate, and mistakes are not at all inconsistent with an honest purpose; still, if misrepresentations exist in this work they are unknown, and as the motive has been conscientious, and the effort earnest, I believe the consideration due reliability is deserved by all herein published. But whatever discrepancies may mar the printed pages, there is no occasion to criticise the illustrations for misrepresentation. They are mostly drawn from photographic views, taken on the spot, with microscopic fidelity, by artistic operators, and have been faithfully reproduced by the draughtsman and engraver.
