Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Jack O'lantern, Vol. 2 of 3: Le Feu-Follet; Or the Privateer

In a word, Ithuel was one of those descendants of Puritanism, who, Godward, as it is termed, was quite unexceptionable, so far as his theory extended but who, manward, was as the Scribes and Pharisees Nevertheless, as he expressed it himself, he always stood up' for religion; a fact which his English companions had com mented on in jokes: maintaining that he even stood up when the rest of the ship's com pany were on their knees.
