Description:Excerpt from The Ave Maria, Vol. 37: A Catholic Family Magazine Devoted to the Honor of the Blessed Virgin; July December, 1893I've just been thinking of that poor, dear little Hawaii. I was quite in the mood for hunting up an old book, bearing my name upon the title-page. The book I refer to is known in England as Summer Cruising in the South Seas. It was published by Chatto, of London, in 1873. It is a reprint of the first Boston edition of South Sea Idyls. Chatto said, somewhat scornfully: That title will never go in this country. People will suspect you of being a poet, and your book will remain unopened. Therefore the Idyls were rechristened, so that he that runs may read; lest, peradventure, under the old title he that reads may run.Well, I've had sufficient curiosity to reread a preface I furnished a score of years ago at the request of my London publisher, - an impulsive preface, with youth and inexperience written all over the face of it. And since the reading thereof I've been wondering if I yearn for those Southern Seas as ardently as I used to once upon a time, or if this all too ardent preface is but the proof of another lost illusion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
