An Authentic Narrative of the Shipwreck and Sufferings of Mrs. Eliza Bradley; The Wife of Capt. James Bradley of Liverpool, Commander of the Ship Sally, Which Was Wrecked on the Coast of Barbary, in June 1818. This book was written by herself and published in Boston in 1820. ( 108 pages)

The Crew and Passengers of the above Ship fell into the hands of the Arabs, a few days after their Shipwreck, among whom unfortunately was Mrs. Bradley, who, after enduring incredible hardships during six months captivity (five of
which she was seperated from her husband and every other civilized being) she was fortunately redeemed out of the hands of the unmerciful barbarians, by Mr. Willshire, the British Consul, resident at Mogadore.

The narrative of the Captivity and Sufferings of the unfortunate Mrs. Bradley, is allowed by all those who have perused it to be the most affecting that ever appeared in print — yet, by the blessings of God, this amiable woman endured deprivation and hardship with incredible fortitude — in a barbarous land, she became a Convert to the RELtGION of a Blessed Redeemer.

Preface to the American Edition:

AS the present age is an era of adventure, and the field extensive on which enterprise may take her range, in consequence of the vast modern improvements in the arts and sciences, it is not surprizing that the press should bring to light numerous works of all descripiions. The facility of intercourse between the various parts of the world, and the far and wide extensive state of commerce, have given origin to many narratives of voyages and travels as well as accounts of shipwrecks, and the various disasters attendant on them. In works of this nature we read of numerous hair-breadth escapes, and astonishing interpositions of Divine Providence, on behalf of the concerned — together with incidents of so extraordinary a nature, that the mind is wrapt in astonishment — and as we peruse we are lost in wonder and amazement.
The following circumstantial account of sufferings almost beyond human endurance, is a little work of real merit. The simplicity of the language — the spirit of piety it breathes — and the morals it inculates, cannot fail to cause it to be read with delight and edification by all those whose thoughts tend to serious reflection. If patience under affliction constitutes one of the cardinal virtues, we there find it exemplified in our christian heroine, throughout the whole of her thorny peregrination. The occurrence of her shipwreck, captivity and deliverance, afford convincing proof of the omnipresence of the All-seeing Eye. We recommend its perusal to the attention of our young females in a particular manner, as Mrs. Bradley sets a shining example to her sex in her struggles against the calamities of life, under circumstances the most uncomfortable.
This publication has passed through a number of editions in London. It was altered but very little from the original manuscript of Mrs, B. as the English publisher declares. — We therefore think it a work highly worthy of being patronized in this country, from the conciseness and simplicity of the style, and the religious fervor which it breathes. — The publishers of the European edition, from which this is copied being acquainted with the family of the writer of this narrative, and the circumstances of the unfortunate voyage upon which it was founded, clearly demonstrates the truth of the facts contained in the following pages.
