Explore "A Year's Adventures" by Roger Pocock on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A. D. 1842
A thousand adventures are taking place every day, all at once in the several continents and the many seas. A few are reported, many are noted in the private journals of adventurers, most of them are just taken as a matter of course in the day's work, but nobody has ever attempted to make a picture of all the world's adventures for a day or a year.
