Not illustrated. 1880 edition. Excerpt: ...swear and drink, And nothing was too hard for Jack, Except to feel and think. Jack loved a lady (or he loved Somewhat he thought as good), And for to ease the happy pair, Dick ever ready stood. Smack went the lash, Dick willing was, And swift away they flew, And long he ran and hard he pulled, But all this would not do. Jack lashed, because he loved to lash; When thus with blows assailed Dick strained every nerve and limb, Till strength and vigour failed. Thus mangled, bruised, and torn, With numerous ills beside, Poor Dick, alas! what could he do? He laid him down and died. 102 LINES FOR AN ALBUM. Dick did his duty in his day, Nor will it fare the worse With such barbarians as G y, To imitate his horse. LINES FOE AN ALBUM. Accept this little floweret As a tribute of regard, Though small is our acquaintance, To be friendly is not hard. You a stranger and sojourner With us but for a time; 'We meet but for a season, In a chill and changing clime. But it will be a pleasure If we meet on earth again, We would rejoice if you rejoice, And grieve were you in pain. May we all but gain the haven Of eternal rest at last, When earth's friendships and its flowers, And its sorrows, all are past. ON LEAVING DUNDEE. 103 ON LEAVING DUNDEE, JANUARY 23, 1839, IN THE BRITISH BRIG, "1SLA." Up, up, ye winds, and bear us on, Ye waves roll cheerily; A few more hours and we are gone, We 've lingered wearily. The skies above are blue and clear, And calm the Tay is streaming; Half lit with gold in mists appear Its sunny glory beaming. The mountains grey, o'ertopped with wood, Where Autumn's shade reposes, Fades from our sight, and ocean's flood In grandeur now discloses. Farewell, ye stream and banks of Tay, Ye hills and vales retiring, Where morn and...

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

It would be an understatement to say that pop culture's perception of piracy and pirates has been primarily influenced by Captain Edward Teach, known to the world as Blackbeard, the most famous pirate of all time. An English pirate who terrorized the high seas near the Carolinas in the early 18th century, a period often referred to as the Golden Age of Piracy, Blackbeard was the gold standard, and in the 300 years since his death he has inspired legends that have spanned books like Treasure Island, movies, and even theme park rides. Of course, like any legendary figure, Blackbeard is remembered today based more on myths than reality. People continue to let their imaginations go when it comes to Blackbeard, picturing a pirate who captured more booty than any other pirate, hid buried treasure, and lit his hair on fire before battle. People have long claimed that his ghost still haunts the Atlantic Ocean, and his contemporaries were so scared of him that they claimed to have seen his headless body swim around his pirate boat three times. The myths and legends surrounding Blackbeard tend to obscure the life he really lived, but his piracy was also notorious enough to capture headlines during his time. The British Crown put a higher price on his head than any other pirate of the era, and when an author writing under the pseudonym Charles Johnson wrote about Blackbeard in A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the most notorious Pyrates, a legend was born.
