Excerpt from Works of J. Fenimore Cooper, Vol. 3 of 10: The Pilot; The Red Rover; The Two Admirals

It would be affectation to deny that The Pilot met with a most unlooked for success. The novelty of the design probably contributed a large share of this result. Sea-tales came into vogue as a consequence and, as every practical part of knowledge has its uses, something has been gained by letting the landsman into the secrets of the seaman's manner of life. Perhaps, in some small degree, an interest has been awakened in behalf of a very numerous, and what has hitherto been a sort of proscribed class of men, that may directly tend to a melioration of their condition.
