I l01lâS COUSIN). MY DEAR IL nmÂ,-I understand that you are intended for that noble service, to which our great uncle, Admiral Sir Harry Burrard Neale, was so bright an ornament. The navy is a profession in which, perhaps more than in any other, energy, perseverance, courage, selfreliance, and endurance are required; and I may add (though that is indeed necessary in every walk of life), a firm trust in Godâs good providence. I have, therefore, in the following history endeavoured to show the importance of those qualities; and I shall be amply repai? for my labour, if it in any way contributes to prepare you for encountering the difliculties and dangers to which in your course through life, whatever may be your calling, you must inevitably be exposed. The incidents were narrated to me by a young gentleman, the original of Peter Lefroy, who is in every respect a real character; and although many years have passed since he told me the story, his extraordinary adventures made so deep an impression on me, that they were still fresh on my memory when I commenced the work.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
