Excerpt from The Life of George Lord Anson: Admiral of the Fleet, Vice-Admiral of Great Britain, and First Lord Commissioner of the Admiralty, Previous to and During, the Seven-Years' WarIn this kind of feeling Howe and St. Vincent parti cipated. The former never talked of the glorious lst of June, nor did the latter of the 14th of Feb ruary it is said indeed he always discouraged that topic being brought into conversation. I think it was Lord St. Vincent who once made the observation, that it was that man only who had performed one little exploit who was for ever talking about it.But if the Life of Anson affords not scope for recording many brilliant deeds of his own, he had the great merit of preparing ﬂeets, selecting, appoint ing and making officers to command them, by which and by whom the British navy was never more tri umphant, nor that of France more humbled and reduced, than in the seven-years' far, when Anson may be said to have had the whole direction of the naval department. No one ever formed a juster esti mate of naval characters and it is worthy of remark that the officers who served under him, in his cele brated voyage, were those who highly distinguished themselves in the said war Saunders, Keppel, Brett, Denis.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Excursions in the North of Europe: Through Parts of Russia, Finland, Sweden T wo Excursions, of two months each, supplied the matter contained in the following pages. My fel low-traveller and myself, desirous of skimming over as large a surface as this limited time would allow, resolved to be always on the wing, or on our legs and the better to enable us to effect this, we also resolved not to seek for any letters of introduction, . Which might have gained us a few dinners, and lost as many days. Our movements were guided by the spur of the moment, without preparation or pre meditated design.
