Excerpt from The Strange Adventures of Captain Dangerous: Who Was a Soldier, a Pirate, a Merchant, a Spy, a Slave Among the Moors, a Bashaw in the Service of the Great Turk, and Died at Last in His Own House in Hanover Square; A Narrative in Plain EnglishI, john dangerous, a faithful subject of his Majesty King George, whose bread, God bless him! I have eaten, and whose battles I have fought, in my poor way, am now in my sixty eighth year, and live in my own house in Hanover Square. By virtue of Several commissions, both English and foreign, I have a right to call myself Captain; and if any man say that I have no such right, he lies and deserves the stab. It may be that this narrative, now /composed only for my own pleasure, will, long after my death, see Fhe'light in print, and that some sham Captain or sham critic, or' pitiful creature of that kind, will question my rank, or otherwise despitefully use my memory. Let such gutter-bloods venture it at their peril. I have, alas, no heirs male; but to my daughter's hus band, and to his descendants, or, failing them, to their executors, administrators, and assigns, I solemnly commit the task Of seeking out such envious rogues, and Of kicking and cudgeling them on the basest part Of their base bodies. The stab I forego; I wish not to cheat the hangman of his due. But let the knaves discover, to the aching of their sorry Sides, that even the ghost Of John Dangerous is not to be trified with.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Prominent among the prize-winners in the alimentary department of the British section, the importance of which it would be mischievous to undervalue, are the firm of Messrs. J. & J. Colman, to whom two Gold Medals have been awarded, one for mustard and another for starch. In the course of my tours through the restaurants of Paris I have more than once had occasion to complain of the shortcomings of the French-made mustard, nor are the French themselves backward in confessing that the native condiment leaves much to be desired. They strive to conceal its deficiencies by adding to it aromatic substances, or the flavour of olives, anchovies, and shalot, and in some cases the mustard-seed is preliminarily steeped in the lees of wine. The chief fault of French mustard is that it is deficient in pungency, falling very far short of Colman's excellent preparation in this respect; and as the French are growing day by day to be more and more a nation of beef-eaters, lack of strength in their mustard is a drawback which they cannot continue to overlook. I read the other day an amusing advertisement of a new mustard, with some fantastic name, which was guaranteed 'd'attaquer les narines les plus recalcitrantes'--to titillate the most obstinate nostrils; but I have sniffed energetically at that mustard, and it has not made me sneeze. The utility of a really pure and powerful mustard, again, is not wholly culinary. The condiment has very powerful medicinal virtues; and if you are afflicted with rheumatism, with a cold at the chest, or with bronchitis, and stand in need of a mustardplaster, you certainly do not want the mustard to be flavoured with anchovy or tarragon vinegar.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
