This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: THE RED ROVER, CHAPTER I. Par. Mars dote on you for his novices. Att't Welt that endi Well. No one who is familiar with the bustle and activity of an American commercial town, would recognise, in the repose which now reigns in the ancient mart of Rhode Island, a place that, in its day, has been ranked amongst the most important ports along the whole line of our extended coast. It would seem, at the first glance, that nature had expressly fashioned the spot to anticipate the wants and to realize the wishes of the mariner. Enjoying the four great requisites of a safe and commodious haven, a placid basin, an outer harbour, and a convenient roadstead, with a clear offing, Newport appeared to the eyes of our European ancestors designed to shelter fleets, and to nurse a race of hardy and expert seamen. Though the latter anticipation has not been entirely disappointed, how little has reality answered to expectation in respect to the former! A successful rival has arisen, even in the immediate vicinity of this seeming favourite of nature, to defeat all the calculations of mercantile sagacity, and to add another to the thousand existing evidences " that the wisdom of man is foolishness." There arc few towns of any magnitude within our broad territories, in which so little change has been effected ic half a century as in Newport. Until the vast resources of the interior were developed, the beautiful island on which it stands was a chosen retreat for the affluent planters of the south, from the heats and diseases of their burning climate. Here they resorted in crowds to inhale the invigorating breezes of the sea. Subjects of the same government, the inhabitants of the Caro- Hnas and of Jamaica met here in amity, to compare their respective habits and policies, and to strengthe...<
