What people are saying - Write a reviewUser Review - Flag as inappropriate It is clearly later than 1881, since it mentions the winter of 1880-81 as having been very severe (p. 761 footnote). There apparently was an 1882 edition (see http://books.google.com/books?id=BYVxQfjZG_IC&pg=PA122&lpg=PA122 footnote). User Review - Flag as inappropriate This is neither 1832 edition nor a reproductions from 1906, as GB and WorldCat suggest. The actual first edition did not appear until 1863, so it could not possibly have been dated 1832. Furthermore, when eliminating the distraction of the library stamp on the title page, the third digit is clearly an 8, so this is the 1888 edition. The last digit does not look anything like a 2, it is a lot closer to a 3 or an 8, since there is no 1883 edition. Related books

Toll for the brave! Brave Kempenfelt is gone; His last sea-fight is fought; His work of glory done. It was not in the battle; No tempest gave the shock; She sprang no fatal leak ; She ran upon no rock. Page 175 - Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory — Odours, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken. Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, Are heaped for the beloved's bed; And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on. Page 301 - ... to dive into the depths of dungeons, to plunge into the infection of hospitals, to survey the mansions of sorrow and pain, to take the gauge and dimensions of misery, depression and contempt, to remember the forgotten, to attend to the neglected, to visit the forsaken, and to compare and collate the distresses of all men in all countries. Page 221 - I never heard the old song of Percy and Douglas, that I found not my heart more moved than with a trumpet... Page 236 - God bless the King! God bless the faith's defender! God bless — no harm in blessing — the Pretender. Who that pretender is, and who that king, God bless us all! is quite another thing. Page 4 - A pleasing land of drowsy-head it was, Of dreams that wave before the half-shut eye ; And of gay castles in the clouds that pass, For ever flushing round a summer sky... Page 477 - And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die. who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel ? God forbid : as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground ; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not. Page 268 - Majesty, they would mentally include the health of the Prince and Princess of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family. Page 493 - When my eyes shall be turned to behold for the last time the sun in heaven, may I not see him shining on the broken and dishonored fragments of a once glorious Union; on States dissevered, discordant, belligerent; on a land rent with civil feuds, or drenched, it may be, in fraternal blood! Page 301 - He has visited all Europe, — not to survey the sumptuousness of palaces, or the stateliness of temples ; not to make accurate measurements of the remains of ancient grandeur, nor to form a scale of the curiosity of modern art ; not to collect medals, or collate manuscripts : — but to dive into the depths of dungeons; to plunge into the infection of hospitals ; to survey the mansions of sorrow and pain ; to take the gauge and dimensions of misery, depression, and contempt...
