Reprint of the original, first published in 1838.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Peter Pilgrim, or a Rambler's Recollections, Vol. 2 of 2 Vol. N. - 2the torrent. They lie confusedly along the verge Of the watery precipice, extending a distance of a hundred yards or more from the island, of which they seem to have formed originally a part - the ruins of a jutting pro montory long since washed away. The bridge - a low path of logs and planks, as is well known - gives access to many of these fragments: others again may be reached without such assistance, from the island: and the adventurous Spirit, tempted by the very wildness of the exploit, will often seek among them some convenient perch, where, poised perhaps over the tremendous gulf, with the flood on either side of him, shooting furiously by, he enjoys a spectacle Of unequalled mag nificence in itself, and to which the feelings inspired by the situation add double suhli mity.
