At sea

I hated to come to the end of Tom Cringle's Log. The author is politically unsympathetic but a very lively narrator, and he pays particular attention to food, customs, and clothing, quoting much Shakespeare and Byron along the way. NYRB has republished Trelawny's Records of Shelley, Byron, and the Author, but apparently not even Project Gutenberg has Adventures of a Younger Son, which is what I'd really like to read again next. I thought it was much more fun than the Records. Project Gutenberg does have Tom Cringle's Log. It was at the main library in paperback form, as part of the "Heart of Oak" classics series. Typically, the Austin Public Library has three books about Trelawny but no books by Trelawny.
