Lyman, Olin Linus. Oliver Hazard Perry and the war on the Lakes. $1.25. Amsterdam.
The brief career of Commodore Perry (1785-1819), midshipman, lieutenant, commander of Lake Erie, and the American squadron in the Mediterranean is given in this volume which is “a eulogy rather than a biography.” (N. Y. Times.)
“As an elementary history the book is good. It should make rather a good ‘reader.’ Mr. Lyman has padded his book tremendously, and has indulged in ‘fine writing’ of the worst sort. The author is very chary of dates.”
