We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Alexander Wylly Habersham was born on March 24, 1826, in New York City, New York, United States, the son of Richard Wylly and Sarah (Elliott) Habersham and great-grandson of James Habersham. His father was a lawyer and a representative from Georgia in the Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh Congresses.
Alexander received his early education from private tutors and was appointed to the United States Naval Academy from Georgia.
After his graduation in 1848 Alexander Wylly Habersham was assigned to the Pacific Squadron and then, 1851-1852, was on duty with the Coast Survey. In 1853 he was made acting lieutenant of the store ship J. P. Kennedy which sailed that year with the United States surveying and exploring expedition to the North Pacific and China seas, and in 1854, at Hongkong, he was assigned as acting master to the John Hancock, another ship in the exploring expedition.
Upon his return to San Francisco in October 1855 he learned of his promotion the previous month to the rank of lieutenant. Subsequently, while stationed at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, he published an account of the exploring expedition under the title My Last Cruise, or Where We Went and What We Saw. He was assigned to the Powhatan of the East India Squadron in 1857 and on May 30, 1860, resigned from the service to engage in business in Japan.
In 1861 Habersham returned to America, but in December was arrested by Federal authorities as a Southern sympathizer. Upon his refusal to take the oath of allegiance to the United States, on the ground that his allegiance was due to the state of Georgia, he was confined in Fort McHenry, Maryland, for four months. At the close of the Civil War he became a partner in the Baltimore firm of Habersham & Barrett, later Smoot, Habersham & Barrett, importers and dealers in teas and East Indian goods. Subsequently he became a member of the firm of Habersham, Kirby & Company, coffee brokers, and in 1870 or 1871 established a coffee and canned-goods brokerage business for himself.
