Partington, Wilfred. "Westward Ho! with Charles
Kingsley," The Colophon: A Book Collector's Quarterly Vol. 3, Part
xi (1933).
In January 1874 Kingsley embarked on the steamship Oceanic on an eleven
day voyage to America. Partington discusses the chart, issued to the passengers,
on which Kingsley indicated the course followed by the ship and the daily
distance covered. On the back of the chart Kingsley recorded his
log of the voyage. Partington also briefly mentions some of the major
incidents in Kingsley's six month sojourn in America and Canada.
