This book is about idylls—little pictures—which can be the most vivid things ever written about the sea. The creators of this work, both illustrator and writer, have used the sea as common sailors, and before the mast, really knows it in all its humors. Both of them transport the readers to the very place they describe—not merely handing us a stereoscopic glass in which to observe a well-defined photograph.

Excerpt from Idylls of the Sea In these little sketches of a few out of the innumerable multitude of ways in which the sea has spoken to me during my long acquaintance with it, I have tried with 'prentice hand to reproduce for shore-dwellers some of the things it has told me. If I were to stop and consider what other men, freeholders upon the upper slopes of the literary Olympus, have done in the same direction, I should not dare to put forth this little book. Let my plea be that I have not seen with their eyes nor heard with their ears, but with mine own. This may have some weight with my judges - those who will buy the wares I have to sell.
