JACOB FAITHFUL;
OR, LIFE ON THE WATER.
COMPLETE.
By the Author of “Peter Simple,” “King’s Own,” &c.
“It is replete with amusement and oddity. Poor Jacob was born on the water. ‘It was,’ says he, ‘in a floating sort of a box, called a lighter, and upon the river Thames, that I first smelt the mud.’”—Baltimore Gazette.
“Equal in merit to Peter Simple, and perhaps even more entertaining, are the adventures of Jacob Faithful, another of the whimsical creations of Captain Marryatt’s prolific brain.”—Saturday Courier.
“It is full of character and incident, and will, we doubt not, be a universal favourite.”—Lit. Gaz.
