Paullin, Charles O. Navy of the American revolution. *$1.25. Burrows.
6–42974.
“A small well-printed duodecimo, into whose narrow compass the author has packed an astonishingly succinct and trustworthy account of the administration of the maritime forces of the revolted colonies. Dealing with the creation, organization, and control of the Continental navy and the various state navies in turn, he has emphasized that neglected page of our history rather than the well-known brilliant exploits of a few popular heroes.”—Nation.
“It is in fact a masterly little book, well conceived, thoroughly studied, and judiciously written. It is a real contribution to the study of the American revolution.” C. H. Van Tyne.

“This book is in all respects admirable, and the author may be congratulated upon the possession of the painstaking industry and ripeness of judgment which disarm the most captious of critics.” Herbert C. Bell.

“Dr. Paullin’s references to authorities are so frequent and scrupulous that his book becomes an indispensable guide to the student of this epoch.”
