by Reverend Walter Colton
This is a journal of a cruise in the United States Frigate Constellation, which is currently at the pier in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The great ship takes Colton and his party to Madeira, Lisbon and the Mediterranean. From the Publisher's Advertisement: "It was in this work that Mr. Colton made his first assay as an author without a name. The favor with which it was received, was a prophecy of the success of his after works, for it procured him an honorable fame, both as a poet of promise and a spirited writer of lively prose. It is upon this ascertained judgment of the public, . . that the publisher's have ventured to undertake his writings in due order." First published in 1851.
