Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Monsters of the Sea: Legendary and Authentic
IN ancient times little was known of the sea and its inhabitants. A wide field was thus presented for the play of the imagination, and 'so the waste of waters came to be peopled with a host of fanciful monsters. The better knowledge of modern times, while it has swept the most of this away, and reduced the remainder to truthful proportions, has at the same time made known the existence in the sea of animals much more truly wonderful than any the ancients ever imagined.
