Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Square-Rigged Cruiser; Or, Lorrain´s Sea-Sermons: Dedicated to the United States Navy, Officers and Seamen of American Merchantmen, and All True-Blues of Every Nation Under Heaven; Whether Coursing on the High Seas, Lakes and Rivers of This Planet, or Laid Up in Ordinary It gives me sincere pleasure to make a few prefatory remarks to this publication, at the request of the author. Our acquaintance commenced in early life, and soon ripened into a strong friendship which has increased with the lapse of years, and now, being, by the blessing of God, "time-honored," I doubt not will always last. The author of this volume of sermons served an apprenticeship on. the seas, and afterward sailed as an officer for some time, and may well be supposed to have a pretty thorough acquaintance with the usages of mariners. Still, it must appertain to the maritime community to pronounce on the merit of the sermons, as it respects their nautical peculiarity. No doubt many thousands will read these sermons who never had any connection with the seas; such may be assured they will find much to interest, to edify, and to comfort them. The race of man every where takes an especial interest in every thing be longing to the watery world; and it has been owing partly to this, perhaps, that these discourses have been delivered by the author in his itinerant labors, in various parts of our country, with so much eclat and success.
