E. L. CAREY & A. HART, PHILAD.
In Three Volumes, 12mo.
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._
In Three Volumes, 12mo.
PETER SIMPLE;
OR, ADVENTURES OF A MIDSHIPMAN.
COMPLETE.
By the Author of the "KING'S OWN," "NAVAL OFFICER," &c.
"The quiet humour which pervades the work is irresistibly amusing, and
the fund of anecdote and description which it contains, entertaining.
The humour sometimes approaches to downright burlesque, and the
incident to extravagance, if not improbability; but, altogether, as a
book of amusement, it is excellent."--_Baltimore Gazette._
"Those who are the most competent to judge, say that Captain Marryatt
is altogether superior to any other writer of naval sketches or
descriptions, living or dead."--_N. Y. Commercial Advertiser._
"This is the best work that Captain Marryatt has produced."--_Atlas._
"'Peter Simple' is certainly the most amusing of Captain Marryatt's
amusing novels; a species of picture quite unique; a class by
themselves, full of humour, truth, and graphic sketches."--_Literary
Gazette._
"This is an admirable work, and worthy of the noble service it is
written to illustrate."--_Spectator._
