King's Cutters and Smugglers 1700-1855
Author: E. Keble Chatterton
Publisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
This book covers the history of smuggling between the 1700 to 1855, which can be said as the time when the practice was widespread and even sanctioned. The author states that in the following pages, he has endeavored to resist the temptation to weave a web of pleasant but unreliable fiction around actual occurrences. That which is here set forth has been derived from facts, and in almost every case from manuscript records. It aims at telling the story of an eventful and exciting period according to historical and not imaginative occurrence. There are extant many novels and short stories which have for their heroes the old-time smugglers. But the present volume represents an effort to look at these exploits as they were and not as a novelist likes to think they might have occurred. Perhaps there is hardly an Englishman who was not thrilled in his boyhood days by Marryat and others when they wrote of the King's Cutters and their foes. It is hoped that the following pages will not merely revive pleasant recollections but arouse a new interest in the adventures of a species of sailing craft that is now, like the brig and the fine old clipper-ship, past and done with.
