Book Description
A Modern Telemachus is an adventurous pirate novel by Charlotte Mary Yonge. Yonge was an English novelist, known for her huge output and adventuresome stories. Excerpt: "The two walked up and down the court together, unwilling to intrude on the parting which, as they well knew, would be made in floods of tears. Sad enough indeed it was, for Madame de Varennes was advanced in years, and her daughter had not only to part with her, but with the baby Jacques, for an unknown space of time; but the self-command and restraint of grief for the sake of each other was absolutely unknown. It was a point of honour and sentiment to weep as much as possible, and it would have been regarded as frigid and unnatural not to go on crying too much to eat or speak for a whole day beforehand, and at least two afterwards."

Book Description
A Modern Telemachus: Large Print Charlotte Mary Yonge Algerine history confirms what is said of his treatment. Louis XIV. had bombarded the pirate city, and compelled the Dey to receive a consul and to liberate French prisoners and French property; but the lady having been taken in an Italian ship, the Dutchman was afraid to set her ashore without first taking her to Algiers, lest he should fall under suspicion. He would not venture on taking so many women on board his own vessel, being evidently afraid of his crew of more than two hundred Turks and Moors, but sent seven men on board the prize and took it in tow. Curiously enough, history mentions the very tempest which drove the tartane apart from her captor, for it also shattered the French transports and interfered with Berwick's Spanish campaign.

Book Description
'Make mention thereto Touching my much loved father's safe return, If of his whereabouts I may best hear.' Odyssey (MUSGRAVE). 'Oh! brother, I wish they had named you Télémaque, and then it would have been all right!' 'Why so, sister? Why should I be called by so ugly a name? I like Ulysses much better; and it is also the name of my papa.' 'That is the very thing. His name is Ulysses, and we are going to seek for him.' 'Oh! I hope that cruel old Mentor is not coming to tumble us down over a great rook, like Télémaque in the picture.' 'You mean Père le Brun?' 'Yes; you know he always says he is our Mentor. And I wish he would change into a goddess with a helmet and a shield, with an ugly face, and go off in a cloud. Do you think he will, Estelle?' 'Do not be so silly, Ulick; there are no goddesses now.'
