In this collection, which was first published in 1915, Callender presents a series of pieces written by various 'masters of English prose' relating to maritime themes. The pieces are presented, as far as knowledge permits, in the order of their composition or publication, beginning with John Wycliffe's 'The story of Jonah' and finishing with James Anthony Froude's 'Drake'. Detailed notes are contained throughout the text, providing linguistic clarification and contextual information where necessary. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in English prose writing and writing about the sea.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface: John Wycliffe: The story of Jonah\u003cbr\u003e Geoffrey Chaucer: The astrolabe\u003cbr\u003e Sir Thomas Malory: King Arthur's dream\u003cbr\u003e The passing of Arthur\u003cbr\u003e Cardinal Wolsey: A letter to the Bishop of Worcester\u003cbr\u003e The Book of Common Prayer: God's mercy to mariners\u003cbr\u003e A prayer\u003cbr\u003e Sir Thomas More and Ralph Robinson: Hythloday home from Utopia\u003cbr\u003e John Lyly: Boxing the compass\u003cbr\u003e Richard Hakluyt: Preface to the Principal Navigations\u003cbr\u003e The corposant\u003cbr\u003e Martin Frobisher's second voyage\u003cbr\u003e Valiant enterprise of the tall ship Primrose\u003cbr\u003e A water famine\u003cbr\u003e 'Vixere fortes ante Agamemnona'\u003cbr\u003e The taking of the Madre de Dios\u003cbr\u003e Sir Walter Raleigh: The last fight of the Revenge\u003cbr\u003e Francis Bacon: The influence of sea power\u003cbr\u003e A paradox\u003cbr\u003e Lord Herbert of Cherbury: The channel passage in 1609\u003cbr\u003e William Shakespeare: The Tempest\u003cbr\u003e Alongshore\u003cbr\u003e Authorized Version of the Bible: Man's insignificance\u003cbr\u003e The shipwreck of St Paul\u003cbr\u003e Samuel Purchas: The services of the sea\u003cbr\u003e Sir Thomas Overbury: Character of the sailor\u003cbr\u003e Sir William Monson: The choice of captains\u003cbr\u003e Captain John Smith: The pathway to experience\u003cbr\u003e Thomas Fuller: The good sea captain\u003cbr\u003e Samuel Pepys: The restoration of Charles II\u003cbr\u003e John Evelyn: The galleys!\u003cbr\u003e The death of Lord Sandwich\u003cbr\u003e Samuel Pepys\u003cbr\u003e Lord Clarendon: Scenes from the great civil war\u003cbr\u003e William Wycherley: The man of action\u003cbr\u003e William Congreve: An ill-sorted couple\u003cbr\u003e Charles Shadwell: Brutal and finical\u003cbr\u003e Joseph Addison: Of monuments and in particular of Sir Clowdisley Shovel's\u003cbr\u003e The mirror of the infinite\u003cbr\u003e Sir Richard Steele: Inkle and Yarico\u003cbr\u003e Alexander Selkirk\u003cbr\u003e Daniel Defoe: Crusoe carries his salvage ashore on a raft\u003cbr\u003e Crusoe builds a boat\u003cbr\u003e Crusoe visits a wreck\u003cbr\u003e Fighting under the Jolly Roger\u003cbr\u003e Jonathon Swift: Gulliver captures the Blefuscudian navy\u003cbr\u003e A great gale described\u003cbr\u003e Gulliver's boat at Brobdingnag\u003cbr\u003e Tobias Smollett: Roderick Random is seized by the press-gang\u003cbr\u003e The surgeon's mates of the Thunder, off duty and on\u003cbr\u003e Brutality of Captain Oakum\u003cbr\u003e The cockpit in time of battle\u003cbr\u003e A yarn from Commodore Trunnion\u003cbr\u003e Commodore Trunnion's wedding-day\u003cbr\u003e The death of Commodore Trunnion\u003cbr\u003e Henry Fielding: Leaves from the Journal of a Voyage to Lisbon\u003cbr\u003e James Macpherson: A song of Ossian\u003cbr\u003e Laurence Sterne: Mal de mer\u003cbr\u003e Oliver Goldsmith: Officers of 'The Fleet'\u003cbr\u003e Edmund Burke: New England fishers\u003cbr\u003e Horace Walpole: The crisis\u003cbr\u003e Edward Gibbon: The navy of Byzantium\u003cbr\u003e Greek or maritime fire\u003cbr\u003e Over land\u003cbr\u003e Robert Southey: The death of Nelson\u003cbr\u003e Sir Walter Scott: Dirk Hatteraick, - smuggler\u003cbr\u003e Cast up by the sea\u003cbr\u003e The making of a pirate\u003cbr\u003e Charles Lamb: The old Margate Hoy\u003cbr\u003e Washington Irving: The discovery of America\u003cbr\u003e Captain Marryat: A flogging round the fleet\u003cbr\u003e Captain Capperbar\u003cbr\u003e The hardships of impressment\u003cbr\u003e Weathering the Cape\u003cbr\u003e and a chat with the bo's'n\u003cbr\u003e Passing for Lieutenant\u003cbr\u003e Equality, and the rights of man\u003cbr\u003e Michael Scott: A sea-piece.
