The breakdown of old habits of thought in any one of the great departments of social activity very rapidly affects the other phases of conduct.

Times have changed greatly, since; but the reader will remember I am writing of that remote period in American history, the year of our Lord 1803. The anchor was no sooner aweigh, than the deck became a scene of activity. The breeze was stiff, and it enabled me to show the Wallingford off to advantage among the dull, flat-bottomed craft of that day.
