 ... visitors deplored. Bougainville, who tarried at Tahiti in 1767, called the island Nouvelle Cythere, on account of the general immorality of the natives. Cook, when he visited the island in the following year, declined to make his journal "the place for exhibiting a view of licentious manners which could only serve to disgust" his readers (212). Hawkesworth relates (II., 206) that the Tahitians offered sisters and daughters to strangers, while breaches of conjugal fidelity are punished only by a ...

The reader will remember those two words;—Old Maid.

Often his parents would playfully urge him to read to them from it; but the boy, devotedly obedient and filial in every other respect ...

Almost upon arriving at Jacksonville he had written a letter of praise to the editor of a newly started journal.

The advantages and disadvantages of this general attitude can be easily understood: the loss in philosophic grasp ...
