Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Naval Lieutenant, Vol. 1 of 3: A Nautical Romance; In Three Volumes
One day, rambling along the sea shore, some few miles from the town, he came to an abrupt point, barring all further progress. He looked up at the cliff above him, rising to eighty or ninety feet, rather precipitous, but still possible of ascent. Rather than turn back, he commenced climbing the height, and after a sharp struggle, gained the summit. He then perceived, on looking around, that he had trespassed into a fine plantation, and before him was a very handsome mansion, with its lawn in front, and a broad, well-rolled avenue leading from the house door in a serpentine form to where he stood, and turn ing off, continued to a lodge gate, some two hundred feet further down the walk. Whilst he stood admiring the place, and the beauty of the various plants and shrubs bordering the avenue, he perceived a young lady mounted on a seemingly high-spirited jennet.
