WAIKNA; OR, ADVENTURES ON THE MOSQUITO SHORE.
BY SAMUEL A. BARD.
“Whatever sweets salute the northern sky, With vernal lives, that blossom but to die; These here disporting, own the kindred soil, Nor ask luxuriance from the planter’s toil; While sea-born gales their gelid wings expand, To winnow fragrance round the smiling land.” Goldsmith.
WITH SIXTY ILLUSTRATIONS.
