Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ralph Rutherford, Vol. 1 of 3: A Nautical Romance

Some who could afford it, really wished it, whilst many with out permanent means for meeting such an expense, acquiesced because they had prize money enough to support it for the present, and trusted to chance for the future. 'amongst those who were most averse to the arrange ment, no one would incur the risk Of being thought poor or mean, though some ventured to oppose it upon other grounds.
