New York: Dodd, Mead and Company Publishers, 1874. — 373 p. There can scarcely anything be found in the literature of our language, more wild and wonderful, than the narrative contained in this volume. The extraordinary career of Captain Kidd, a New York merchant, the demoniac feats of those fiends in human form, Bonnet, Barthelemy, and Lolonois; the romantic history of the...
London: Chatto and Windus, 1914. — 255 p. Have you ever wanted to be a pirate? Well, you won’t be the first person who has. The pirate’s life sounds pretty exciting. Sailing the seven seas. Capturing galleons full of gems and bars of silver, even beautiful ladies. Rings in your ears. Red kerchief tied over your head. A bristling musnfche. Perhaps a patch over your eye, and a...
New York: Robert M. Mcbride and Company, 1922. — 159 p. Time, though a good Collector, is not always a reliable Historian. That is to say, that although nothing of interest or importance is lost, yet an affair may be occasionally invested with a glamour that is not wholly its own. I venture to think that Piracy has fortuned in this particular. We are apt to base our ideas of...
New York: Tudor Publishing Co, 1922. — 658 p. We returned to Carthagena, to be at hand should any opportunity occur for Jamaica, and were lounging about one forenoon on the fortifications, looking with sickening hearts out to seaward, when a voice struck up the following negro ditty close to us: " Fader was a Corramantee, Moder was a Mingo, Black picaniny buccra wantee, So dem...
London: Sampson Low, Marston & Co, 1933. — 336 p. There is no theme in the gamut of the literature of travel and adventure that has a more absorbing interest to the ordinary reader, young or old, man or woman, than tales of Piracy on the High Seas. Distance ever lends enchantment, and though, in truth, these men were but sea robbers and their history a record of crime, the...

New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1898. — 325 p. When I was a boy I strongly desired to be a pirate, and the reason for this was the absolute independence of that sort of life. Restrictions of all sorts had become onerous to me, and in my reading of the adventures of the bold sea-rovers of the main, I had unconsciously selected those portions of a pirate's life which were attractive to...
СПб: Типография братьев Пантелеевых, 1900. — 376 с. Не'знаю, кто сказалъ, что женщина - все. Можетъ быть, это преувеличеніе. Но вѣдь въ самомъ дѣлѣ женщина какъ будто все. Можно себѣ представить благоустроенную семью безъ дѣтей, безъ родни, безъ знакомыхъ, но возможна ли она безъ женщины? Она царитъ у домашняго очага, законодательствуетъ въ обществѣ и нерѣдко держитъ въ своихъ...
