THE MAN-OF-WAR'S-MAN;
By the Author of "Tom Cringle's Log."
"No stories of adventures are more exciting than those of seamen. The author of Tom Cringle's Log is the most popular writer of that class, and those sketches collected not long since into a volume by the same publishers, in this city, were universally read. A large edition was soon exhausted. The present is, we believe, an earlier production, and has many of the same merits."—Baltimore Gazette.
"Messrs. Carey & Hart have published, in two volumes, 'The Man-of-War's-Man.' The success which attended the publication of 'Tom Cringle's Log,' might well induce its ingenious author to undertake a continuous narrative, having for the subject of illustration the manners and customs of seamen. The work now before us is of the kind, well imagined, and executed with all the tact and clearness that distinguished the 'Log Book' of Master Cringle, with the advantages of a more regular plot and interesting denouement."—U. S. Gazette.
"Nobody needs be told what sort of a book Tom Cringle can write—that humorous and most admirable of sailors! We may just remark that the reader will find in the present volume the same power of description and knowledge of the world—the same stirring adventures, phrases, dialects, and incidents which rendered his last work so extravagantly popular. The printing is uncommonly good for a novel."
In one Volume, 8vo.
