CAVENDISH;
OR, THE PATRICIAN AT SEA.
The following Notice is from the pen of Mr. Bulwer.
“The peculiar characteristics of Captain Marryatt are shared by some of his nautical brethren; and the author of ‘Cavendish’ has evinced much ability and very vigorous promise in the works that have issued from his pen.”
“We should find it very difficult to be very angry with the ‘Patrician,’ even if he had fifty times his real number of faults, on account of the jovial, easy, reckless, off-hand style of character that seems to belong to him. Our sea portraits multiply so fast, and advance so rapidly in excellence, that we become fastidious, and insist upon a likeness where formerly we were contented with a caricature. ‘Cavendish’ partakes of both.... Into these thousand or rather ten thousand scrapes, we cannot follow him, but the reader may, much to his advantage. The Navarine narrative, in particular, will be read with an interest proportioned to the truth and spirit with which it is told.”—New Monthly Magazine.
