Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Excerpt from A Bounty Boy: Being Some Adventures of a Christian Barbarian on an Unpremeditated Trip Round the World His perhaps should rather be called a preta tory note, since all the introduction to my book that I deem necessary is to say that in it I have endeavoured to sketch a community for whom I have the highest admiration, the descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty, who I maintain are a standing proof of the miraculous power of the Gospel in the regeneration of mankind when un hindered by sacerdotal interference. And in order to make the subject as full as possible, I have taken one typical islander, the Bounty Boy, out of his surroundings into the world, and told his adventures therein with a View of showing how the Christian who is one indeed may fare.
