AND LETTERS

OF

CAPT. SIR WILLIAM HOSTE,

BART., R.N., K.C.B., K.M.T.

"If ever

The powers above did mask in human shapes
To teach mortality; not by cold precepts,
Forgot as soon as told, but by examples
To imitate their pureness and draw near
To their celestial virtues — I believe
He's more than man."

IN TWO VOLUMES.

VOL. II.

RICHARD BENTLEY, NEW BURLINGTON STREET.
(SUCCESSOR TO HENRY COLBURN.)
