STORIES
Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know,
Are a substantial world, both pure and good:
Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood,
Our pastime and our happiness will grow.
WORDSWORTH.
BULLEN, F.T.
The Cruise of the Cachalot.
Appleton. 1.50
I've never read anything that equals it in its deep-sea (p. 225)
wonder and mystery; nor do I think that any book before has so
completely covered the whole business of whale-fishing, and at
the same time given such real and new sea pictures.
RUDYARD KIPLING.
In the following pages an attempt has been made--it is believed
for the first time--to give an account of the cruise of a South
Sea whaler from the seaman's standpoint.--_Preface._
A strong nor'wester's blowing, Bill!
Hark! don't ye hear it roar now?
Lord help 'em, how I pities them
Unhappy folks on shore now!
WILLIAM PITT.
CHARLES, E. (R.).
Chronicles of the Schoenberg-Cotta Family.
Burt. .75
This diary of Reformation days is fictitious, but it serves to bring
most vividly before us Luther and the men of his time.
