The Prose Works of William Makepeace Thackeray: Cornhill to Cairo Etc (Classic Reprint)

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from The Prose Works of William Makepeace Thackeray: Cornhill to Cairo Etc

After a voyage, during which the captain of the ship has displayed uncommon courage, Seamanship, afi'ability, or other good qualities, grateful passengers often present him with a token of their esteem, in the shape of teapots, tankards, trays, &c., of precious metal. Among authors, however, bullion is a much rarer commodity than paper, whereof I beg you to accept a little in the shape of this small volume. It contains a few notes of a voyage which your skill and kind ness rendered doubly pleasant; and of which Idou't think there is any recollection more agreeable than that it was the occasion of making your friendship.
