Macleod : Voyage of the Alceste to China

John Barrow to John Murray, 1 September 1830: 'I sat up last night over Mr. Macleod's narrative till I had nearly got through it, which proves at least that it interested [italics]me[end italics], and I am much deceived if it will not interest others. There is no pretence of science or fine writing about it; but the story of the voyage, and the description of the Loo-Choo islands in particular, is told in a plain, intelligible, and unaffected manner. It will certainly make a very entertaining readable octavo volume'.

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: John Barrow      Manuscript: Unknown
