THE KING’S OWN;
A TALE OF THE SEA.
By the Author of “The Naval Officer,” “Peter Simple” etc.
“An excellent novel.”—Edinburg Review.
“Captain Marryat may take his place at the head of the naval novelists of the day.”—United Service Journal.
“The adventures of the hero, through bold and stirring scenes, lose not a jot of their interest to the last, while the naval descriptions of sights and deeds on shipboard may be compared with any similar production of which we have any knowledge.”—Atlas.
“A very remarkable book, full of vigour, and characterized by incidents of perfect originality, both as to conception and treatment. Few persons will take up the book without going fairly through it to the catastrophe, which startles the reader by its unexpected nature.”—Literary Gazette.
“Replete with genius. The work will go far permanently to fix the name of Captain Marryat among the most popular and successful writers of fiction of the age.”—Felix Farley’s Bristol Journal.
“A work, perhaps, not to be equalled in the whole round of romance, for the tremendous power of its descriptions, for the awfulness of its subjects, and for the brilliancy and variety of the colours with which they are painted.”—Spectator.
