PREFACE
UPON my returnto the United States a few months ago, after the extraordinary series ofadventure in the South Seas and elsewhere, of which an account is given in thefollowing pages, accident threw me into the society of several gentlemen inRichmond, Va., who felt deep interest in all matters relating to the regions Ihad visited, and who were constantly urging it upon me, as a duty, to give mynarrative to the public. I had several reasons, however, for declining to doso, some of which were of a nature altogether private, and concern no personbut myself; others not so much so. One consideration which deterred me was,that, having kept no journal during a greater portion of the time in which Iwas absent, I feared I should not be able to write, from mere memory, astatement so minute and connected as to have the appearance of that truth it would really possess, barring only thenatural and unavoidable exaggeration to which all of us are prone whendetailing events which have had powerful influence in exciting the imaginativefaculties. Another reason was, that the incidents to be narrated were of anature so positively marvellous, that, unsupported as my assertions mustnecessarily be (except by the evidence of a single individual, and he ahalf-breed Indian), I could only hope for belief among my family, and those ofmy friends who have had reason, through life, to put faith in my veracity—theprobability being that the public at large would regard what I should put forthas merely an impudent and ingenious fiction. A distrust in my own abilities asa writer was, nevertheless, one of the principal causes which prevented me fromcomplying with the suggestions of my advisers.
Amongthose gentlemen in Virginia who expressed the greatest interest in mystatement, more particularly in regard to that portion of it which related tothe Antarctic Ocean, was Mr. Poe, lately editor of the Southern LiteraryMessenger, a monthly magazine, published by Mr. Thomas W. White, in the city of
Notwithstandingthis representation, I did not make up my mind to do as he suggested. Heafterward proposed (finding that I would not stir in the matter) that I shouldallow him to draw up, in his own words, a narrative of the earlier portion ofmy adventures, from facts afforded by myself, publishing it in the SouthernMessenger under the garb of fiction.To this, perceiving no objection, I consented, stipulating only that my realname should be retained. Two numbers of the pretended fiction appeared,consequently, in the Messenger for January and February (1837), and, in orderthat it might certainly be regarded as fiction, the name of Mr. Poe was affixedto the articles in the table of contents of the magazine.
Themanner in which this ruse was received has induced me at length to undertake aregular compilation and publication of the adventures in question; for I foundthat, in spite of the air of fable which had been so ingeniously thrown aroundthat portion of my statement which appeared in the Messenger (without alteringor distorting a single fact), the public were still not at all disposed toreceive it as fable, and several letters were sent to Mr. P.'s addressdistinctly expressing a conviction to the contrary. I thence concluded that thefacts of my narrative would prove of such a nature as to carry with themsufficient evidence of their own authenticity, and that I had consequentlylittle to fear on the score of popular incredulity.
Thisexposé being made, it will be seen atonce how much of what follows I claim to be my own writing; and it will also beunderstood that no fact is misrepresented in the first few pages which werewritten by Mr. Poe. Even to those readers who have not seen the Messenger, itwill be unnecessary to point out where his portion ends and my own commences;the difference in point of style will be readily perceived.
