Excerpt from The Boy Who Sailed With Blake, And, the Orphans The example of Blake is held up to the boys of to-day, not because he fought and conquered, but because he was a conscientious, God-fearing man, and his conscience told him that the best interests of his country demanded resistance to the Stuart rule. Such a man as Blake was a hero everywhere, and needed not a to display his heroism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
