Excerpt from Two Years and a Half in the Navy, Vol. 1 of 2: Or Journal of a Cruise in the Mediterranean and Levant, on Board of the U. S. Frigate Constellation, in the Years 1829, 1830, and 1831 If I should profess indi 'erence to the success of my labours, I should deceive neither myself nor any body else. To the judgment of an enlightened and liberal public, I leave the decision of their merit. In extenuation of their faults, which I feel to be numerous and of diversified complexion, I might plead inexperience in the art of com position; a want of previous practice in observing; and the often ill-discriminating judgment of youth as to the fittest objects of public curiosity, and the fittest circumstances and terms by which to place them before the public mind: but I forbear. If my volumes should serve to beguile the tedium of solitude, - if they should furnish an agreeable relaxation in the intervals of severer pursuits, - or, more ambitious still, if they should rectify error and enlighten ignorance, though in the humblest degree and to the most limited extent, - if, I repeat, these ends should by my labours be secured to any portion of my fellow citizens, I shall not have lost my reward.

Excerpt from Two Years and a Half in the American Navy, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising a Journal of a Cruise to England, in the Mediterranean, and in the Levant, on Board of the U. S. Frigate Constellation, in the Years 1829, 1830, and 1831 IT shall be my endeavour not to exhaust my read er's patience in the Preface, however heavily I may draw upon it in the work itself. It is so much the fashion now-a - days for writers of travels to apologise for their productions, by stating that they are less the result of volition, than a sort of irresistible inspiration, breathed into their spirits by the genii loci of the spots they have visited, that I should not, probably, be be lieved, if I should say that I joined the' Constellation without any intention of sporting my pen for the edifi cation of the public. As I do not wish to make my first - and probably my last - appearance before the world in the character of an author with an assertion at the outset that would occasion my veracity to be called in question, I shall make no such declaration albeit I might do it in good faith. My object, then, - to dash at once in medias res, ln applying for my situation, was twofold - the acqui sitiou of the languages of the South of Europe, and the sight of those glorious regions where Genius wan toned in her young and vernal hour. Being somewhat fond of scribbling, I inundated my friends with let ters, of which I was foolish enough to retain Copies, and kept, besides, a copious journal of notes and ob servations for my own improvement and diversion.

In becoming "a useful man" on the maritime stage, Matthew Fontaine Maury focused on the ills of a clique-ridden Navy, charted sea lanes and bested Great Britain's admiralty in securing the fastest, safest routes to India and Australia. He helped bind the Old and New worlds with the laying of the transatlantic cable, forcefully advocated Southern rights in a troubled union, and preached Manifest Destiny from the Arctic to Cape Horn. And he revolutionized warfare in perfecting electronically detonated mines. Maury's eagerness to go to the public on the questions of the day riled powerful men in business and politics, and the U.S., Confederate and Royal navies. He more than once ran afoul of Jefferson Davis and Stephen R. Mallory, secretary of the Confederate States Navy. But through the political, social and scientific struggles of his time, Maury had his share of powerful allies, like President John Tyler.
