Book excerpt: Excerpt from De Lamartine's Visit to the Holy Land, or Recollections of the East, Vol. 1 of 2: Accompanied With Interesting Descriptions and Engravings of the Principal Scenes of Our Saviour's Ministry The name of the vessel is the Alcate, that of the captain, M. Blane of la Ciotat. The owner is one of the worthiest merchants in Marseilles, M. Bruno Rostand. He loads us with kindness and favours. He has himself resided for some time in the Levant. Intelligent, and capable of undertaking the highest employments, his integrity and talents have ac quired for him, in his native town, a reputation equal to his fortune. He enjoys it without ostentation, and being sur rounded by a lovely family, his only occupation is to spread among his children the lessons of loyalty and virtue. What a country would that be where such families were found in every class of society. And how beautiful an institution is that of the family; which protects, preserves, and perpetuates the same long cherished sanctity of morals and nobility of sentiment, whether it be in the cottage, the shop, or the mansion.
