Lusitanian Sketches of the Pen and Pencil Vol. II only
London: John W. Parker 1845 Book. Illus. by The Author. Good Plus. Hardcover. First No Additional printings. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Original blindstamped red cloth on boards. Volume II only of a two-volume set. No writing. Mild hand soil to cover and faint foxing spots to endpapers. In internet reviews Kingston is rebuked for stating "eight knots an hour" when a knot is a sea mile per hour making Kingston's reference to time redundant. In another the comment is made that Kingston referred offhand to the prevalence of illegitimacy in this travelogue through northern Portugal. Only in 1851 did Kingston publish the first of the adventure stories for boys that made him famous. Volume II has 364 pp. John W. Parker hardcover

The Mate of the "Lily" or Notes from Harry Musgrave's log book
Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge London 1881. Early Edition. Hardcover Original Cloth. Fair Condition/No Dust Jacket. Early Undated Edition: Date presumed from gift inscription. 2 160 pages plus 4 pages adverts. Gift inscription pencil on front end paper dated 1881. Original covers. Text block splitting in places some spotting to pages but contents clean. "The Mate of the Lily; Or Notes from Harry Musgrave's Log Book" by W. H. G. Kingston is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around young Harry Musgrave who following the disappearance of his father embarks on a perilous sea voyage aboard the brig "Lily" with his uncle Jack Radburn. As they journey through the Java Seas they face numerous challenges including storms pirates and the quest to find Harrys father Captain Musgrave along with other shipwrecked sailors. " Kingston William Henry Giles 1814-1880 English novelist son of Lucy Henry Kingston was born in London on the 28th of February 1814. Much of his youth was spent at Oporto where his father was a merchant but when he entered the business he made his headquarters in London. He early wrote newspaper articles on Portuguese subjects. These were translated into Portuguese and the author received a Portuguese order of knighthood and a pension for his services in the conclusion of the commercial treaty of 1842. In 1844 his first book The Circassian Chief appeared and in 1845 The Prime Minister a Story of the Days of the Great Marquis of Pombal. The Lusitanian Sketches describe Kingston as travels in Portugal. In 1851 Peter the Whaler his first book for boys came out. These books proved so popular that Kingston retired from business and devoted himself to the production of tales of adventure for boys. Within thirty years he wrote upwards of one hundred and thirty such books. He had a practical knowledge of seamanship and his stories of the sea full of thrilling adventures and hairbreadth escapes exactly hit the taste of his boy readers. Characteristic specimens of his work are The Three Midshipmen; The Three Lieutenants; The Three Commanders; and The Three Admirals. He also wrote popular accounts of famous travellers by land and sea and translated some of the stories of Jules Verne. In all philanthropic schemes Kingston took deep interest; he was the promoter of the mission to seamen; and he acted as secretary of a society for promoting an improved system of emigration. He was editor of the Colonist for a short time in 1844 and of the Colonial Magazine and East Indian Review from 1849 to 1851. He was a supporter of the volunteer movement in England from the first. He died at Willesden on the 5th of August 1880." Extract from the 11th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.
