Two Years before the Mast - Richard Henry Dana - Bog

In 1869 the late Richard Henry Dana, Jr., prepared a new edition of his "Two Years Before the Mast''. In presenting the first 'author's edition' to the public, he has been encouraged to add an account of a visit to the old scenes, made twenty-four years after, together with notices of the subsequent story and fate of the vessels, and of some of the persons with whom the reader is made acquainted.
The popularity of this book has been so great and continued that it is now proposed to make an illustrated edition with new material.
