DOWNLOAD EBOOKThese are the errors, and these are the fruits of mis-spending our prime youth at the schools and universities, as we do, either in learning mere words, or such things chiefly as were better unlearned. Milton. My father was a gentleman, and a man of considerable property. In my infancy and childhood I was weak and sickly, but the favourite of my parents beyond all my brothers and sisters, because they saw that my mind was far superior to my sickly frame, and feared they should never raise me to manhood; contrary, however, to their expectations, I surmounted all these untoward appearances, and attracted much notice from my liveliness, quickness of repartee, and impudence: qualities which have been of much use to me through life. I can remember that I was both a coward and a boaster; but I have frequently remarked that the quality which we call cowardice, in a child, implies no more than a greater sense of danger, and consequently a superior intellect. We are all naturally cowards: education and observation teach us to discriminate between real and apparent danger; pride teaches the concealment of fear; and habit render us indifferent to that from which we have often escaped with impunity. It is related of the Great Frederick that he misbehaved the first time he went into action; and it is certain that a novice in such a situation can no more command all his resources than a boy when first bound apprentice to a shoemaker can make a pair of shoes. We must learn our trade, whether it be to stand steady before the enemy or to stitch a boot; practice alone can make a Hoby or a Wellington.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Frank Mildmay: Or the Naval Officer This is an interesting passage for several reasons. It is obviously full of all that frank directness in the explanation of motive and purpose which we should expect from so thorough-going and simple-hearted a man as Captain Marryat. He tells us, without any circumlocution, that he wrote his book in order to gibbet some of his enemies, that the hero was not intended for himself, and that he received very unmerciful handling on the part of the critics. The author was not a man to brook contradiction or antagonism in any part of his life, and the mere fact that he was assured that he had made a mistake would be quite sufficient inducement to him to repeat it on the first opportunity. Nearly every subsequent book is better than Frank Mildmay; but it ought also to be remembered that in Percival Keene the hero possesses no more admirable a character than does the Naval Officer.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Frank Mildmay: Or the Naval Officer There is a passage in Marryat's magazine, the Metropolitan, published some time after the first appearance of "Frank Mildmay; or, the Naval Officer," which is of sufficient interest to bear quotation. It must be premised that the book was produced in 1829, that the sum of 400 was paid for it by Colburn the publisher, and that it was followed nine months later by "The King's Own." "The 'Naval Officer,'" writes Marryat, at a time when three successive novels had followed the issue of "Frank Mildmay," "was our first attempt, and it having been our first attempt must be offered in extenuation of its many imperfections; it was written hastily, and before it was complete we were appointed to a ship. We cared much about our ship, and little about our book. The first was diligently taken charge of by ourselves; the second was left in the hands of others, to get on how it could. Like most bantlings put out to nurse, it did not get on very well. As we happen to be in the communicative vein, it may be as well to remark that, being written in the autobiographical style, it was asserted by good-natured friends, and believed in general, that it was a history of the author's own life. Now, without pretending to have been better than we should have been in our earlier days, we do most solemnly assure the public that, had we run the career of vice of the hero of the 'Naval Officer,' at all events we should have had sufficient sense of shame not to have avowed it... The 'confounded licking' we received for our first attempt in the critical notices is probably well known to the reader - at all events, we have not forgotten it.
