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.

From the author of The Last of the Mohicans comes this classic nautical adventure tale that follows a sea voyage gone horribly awry. When a group of well-born British aristocrats set sail for the United States, they couldn't possibly imagine the mishaps that lie ahead of them when they find themselves coming ashore in Africa.

In one respect, this book is a parallel to Franklin's well-known apologue of the hatter and his sign. It was commenced with a sole view to exhibit the present state of society in the United States, through the agency, in part, of a set of characters with different peculiarities, who had freshly arrived from Europe, and to whom the distinctive features of the country would be apt to present themselves with greater force, than to those who had never lived beyond the influence of the things portrayed. By the original plan, the work was to open at the threshold of the country, or with the arrival of the travellers at Sandy Hook, from which point the tale was to have been carried regularly forward to its conclusion. But a consultation with others has left little more of this plan than the hatter's friends left of his sign. As a vessel was introduced in the first chapter, the cry was for "more ship," until the work has become "all ship;" it actually closing at, or near, the spot where it was originally intended it should commence. Owing to this diversion from the author's design--a design that lay at the bottom of all his projects--a necessity has been created of running the tale through two separate works, or of making a hurried and insufficient conclusion. The former scheme has, consequently, been adopted. It is hoped that the interest of the narrative will not be essentially diminished by this arrangement. There will be, very likely, certain imaginative persons, who will feel disposed to deny that every minute event mentioned in these volumes ever befell one and the same ship, though ready enough to admit that they may very well have occurred to several different ships: a mode of commenting that is much in favour with your small critic. To this objection, we shall make but a single answer. The caviller, if any there should prove to be, is challenged to produce the log-book of the Montauk, London packet, and if it should be found to contain a single sentence to controvert any one of our statements or facts, a frank recantation shall be made. Captain Truck is quite as well known in New York as in London or Portsmouth, and to him also we refer with confidence, for a confirmation of all we have said, with the exception, perhaps, of the little occasional touches of character that may allude directly to himself. In relation to the latter, Mr. Leach, and particularly Mr. Saunders, are both invoked as unimpeachable witnesses.

The coast of England, though infinitely finer than our own, is more remarkable for its verdure, andfor a general appearance of civilisation, than for its natural beauties. The chalky cliffs may seem boldand noble to the American, though compared to the granite piles that buttress the Mediterraneanthey are but mole-hills; and the travelled eye seeks beauties instead, in the retiring vales, the leafyhedges, and the clustering towns that dot the teeming island. Neither is Portsmouth a veryfavourable specimen of a British port, considered solely in reference to the picturesque. A townsituated on a humble point, and fortified after the manner of the Low Countries, with an excellenthaven, suggests more images of the useful than of the pleasing; while a background of modestreceding hills offers little beyond the verdant swales of the country. In this respect England itself hasthe fresh beauty of youth, rather than the mellowed hues of a more advanced period of life; or itmight be better to say, it has the young freshness and retiring sweetness that distinguish her females, as compared with the warmer tints of Spain and Italy, and which, women and landscape alike, needthe near view to be appreciated.Some such thoughts as these passed through the mind of the traveller who stood on the deck of thepacket Montauk, resting an elbow on the quarter-deck rail, as he contemplated the view of the coastthat stretched before him east and west for leagues. The manner in which this gentleman, whosetemples were sprinkled with grey hairs, regarded the scene, denoted more of the thoughtfulness ofexperience, and of tastes improved by observation, than it is usual to meet amid the bustling andcommon-place characters that compose the majority in almost every situation of life. The calmnessof his exterior, an air removed equally from the admiration of the novice and the superciliousness ofthe tyro, had, indeed, so strongly distinguished him from the moment he embarked in London to 3that in which he was now seen in the position mentioned, that several of the seamen swore he was aman-of-war's-man in disguise. The fair-haired, lovely, blue-eyed girl at his side, too seemed asoftened reflection of all his sentiment, intelligence, knowledge, tastes, and cultivation, united to theartlessness and simplicity that became her sex and years

In 1833 Cooper returned to the United States and published A Letter to My Countrymen, in which he gave his own version of the controversy and sharply censured his compatriots for their share in it. He followed up with novels and several sets of notes on his travels and experiences in Europe. His Homeward Bound and Home as Found are notable for containing a highly idealized self-portrait.
