Charlotte, thank you much for your continued support. I do have a link for Australia in the post, titled ‘The Land Down Under’. Let me know if it works or not!

Just placed an order - it worked perfect!! It’s due here on the 6th I’m actually so excited - I’ve wanted to read more of this author before but never had the resources. 🥳 And sorry I missed the reference - I’m so used to living in the southern hemisphere I don’t ever think of being down under 😂

That is the pleasantest news I have heard in a while! I hope the book serves you very well & doesn’t suppress your hunger for Melville’s works. On Australia: Mea culpa. I’m so far up North that I cannot think of your land being anything but profoundly down under!

Please let me know what you think of the book once you’ve gone through it. Thank you, Charlotte…

Postscript. Hope Emerson’s English Traits proved a good recommendation.

I can totally understand 😂 yes! I confess I am still reading Chapter 3 “Land” and am greatly enjoying it - the description of the voyage was wonderfully detailed as we would assume from such a fantastic writer. an entirely different side to Emerson. 👏

Well, that is quite well, as Emerson’s writings are certainly not ones which can be rushed through. Rather, they ought to be cherished!
