This Is A New Release Of The Original 1846 Edition.

Edward Devlin spent his life serving his country as the captain of a U.S. Revenue Service cutter in the freezing arctic waters of the Bering Sea. He triumphed against the elements and the scoundrels who poached seals and sold rotgut whiskey to the Eskimos in the 1890s. But the most challenging trial he faced was in a San Francisco courtroom, when he went up against the scoundrels with money, power, and influence in the nation's capital. Many Colors of White is the story of life in the 1890s, from the perils of the bone-chilling arctic wastes to the stunning revelations in a San Francisco maritime courtroom. It is best read by a roaring fire or under warm covers, because arctic winds blow cold whenever the book is opened.

Pagans as they are, they are the most wealthy and influential inhabitants of that place, and are generally bankers and merchants. The worship of fire was also maintained in its utmost purity in ancient Rome, and the permanent fire in the Temple of Vesta was carefully preserved under the guardianship of the Vestal Virgins.
