Product Description
''The Tides of Barnegat is a romance spanning a twenty year period from 1854 until 1874, with a highly melodramatic final chapter involving the newly organized U.S. Lifesaving Service in a tragic ship wreck....This scene of high drama comes as the resolution of a tightly constructed novel by a remarkable man.'' -- from the new Introduction by John Bailey Lloyd.Out of print for more than half a century, the text and original illustrations are carefully reproduced here in a reprint of this classic 1906 seashore novel by F. Hopkinson Smith. In a Victorian style capturing the gentle ebbing and the fierce moods of the ocean -- and the moods and personalities of the people living along its shores -- Smith's novel is a rich portrait of its time along the coast. It ''makes you yearn for the time when things such as honor and duty and responsibility and commitment were actually taken seriously,'' said one reviewer.The novel follows two sisters, Jane and Lucy Cobden. Jane, the older by ten years, had vowed alongside her father's deathbed long before to raise and protect Lucy. When Lucy returns from boarding school in Philadelphia, Jane gives her younger sister all she needs and desires with a caring hand, but does not find in Lucy the same forthright and dutiful character that she possesses. Misled by her love, Jane protects Lucy at the expense of her own life's happiness and a marriage to a man who loves her.A new introduction by Jersey Shore historian John Bailey Lloyd explains some of the peculiarities of the novel, as well as keying the reader in to what is below the surface of all the strident virtue -- strength commingled with human weakness -- and provides a fascinating look at the author, a remarkable man who was a marine engineer, builder of lighthouses, writer, and fine artist.This is high quality reprint of the original book. (It is not aprint-on-demandfacsimile edition.) This limited edition, smythe-sewn hardcover carefully recreates the distinctive original gold foil and white dye stamping on a deep teal case. (It is published simultaneously with a trade paper edition ISBN 0-945582-82-X. The softcover features an original oil painting by Jersey Shore artist Marilyn Ganss.) Both editions are complete reprints, featuring the 12 original illustrations by George Wright. ... Read more

Excerpt: James Buchanan, Jr. (April 23, 1791 June 1, 1868) was the 15th President of the United States from 18571861 and the last to be born in the 18th century. To date he is the only president from the state of Pennsylvania and the only president to have never married and to have remained a bachelor. A popular and experienced politician prior to his presidency, Buchanan represented Pennsylvania in the House of Representatives and later the Senate, and served as Secretary of State under President James K. Polk. After turning down an offer for an appointment to the Supreme Court, he served as Minister to the United Kingdom under President Franklin Pierce, in which capacity he helped draft the inflammatory Ostend Manifesto, which suggested the U.S. should declare war if Spain refused to sell Cuba. The Ostend Manifesto was never acted upon and greatly damaged the Pierce administration. Despite unsuccessfully seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 1844, 1848, and 1852, Buchanan was nominated in the election of 1856 as a compromise between the two sides of the slavery issue; this occurred whi...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=19732383 ...
