RECOLLECTIONS
1853-1860
BY REAR-ADMIRAL THE HONOURABLE
VICTOR ALEXANDER MONTAGU
Containing 2 photogravures and 6 other full-page Illustrations.
"Full of interest as illustrating the life of a midshipman afloat in the last days of the wooden Navy, and as recording a much larger and more varied share of war experience than has fallen to the lot of most young officers in these latter days."—The Times.
"Few officers could have had so much active service crowded into the first few years of their career as the author of these reminiscences."—Morning Post.
"The life on board ship, the boisterous humour of the gun-room, and the stern discipline of those rough-and-tumble days are described with a sailor's breezy frankness."—Pall Mall Gazette.
"It will interest all who are fond of exciting incident, quite apart from its personal interest."—Outlook.
