If there be a delight unknown to those whose careless lives glide by in lettered leisure; if there be a joy untried by those sybarites of great cities who seek to exhaust the pleasures of this world without risk or fatigue, it is that immense and ineffable rapture which overflows one's heart at the close of a long sea-voyage.
"A Lady's Captivity among Chinese Pirates in the Chinese Seas"
Fanny Loviot
Few dynasties of emperors or kings have lasted so long as this famous order of warrior-monks, whose name was once the synonym for loyalty, but whose end was brought about by treachery within its own ranks,-an organization whose members began as paupers, but who ended as sybarites.
"The Story of Malta"
Maturin M. Ballou
