Book Description

Excerpt from The Englishman in ChinaDaily the motion of the Ship thinned our ranks, until it became evident to the stewards that one table was enough. I was in a very agreeable set, and long shall I remember that voyage in the Indus, and the kind old captain. It was by far the best part of my long, long journey.I think I shall stay about a month in Egypt, and then on, on, on to the Flowery Land. As this will be the first letter you will receive, and as it, I suppose, will be handed the round, I shall not only make it long, but Shall keep it open, so as to be able to dot down the voyage.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
