"He that hath buffeted with stern adversity
Knows how to shape his course to favouring breezes."
OLD PLAY.
"An interesting, stimulating, and spirited narrative."--_St. James'

"For a hasty scamper through the story which is now attracting
world-wide attention on account of the celebration of the fourth
centenary, let me commend the pretty little book of which Mr
Alexander Innes is the author."--_Queen._
"Within the compass of 150 small pages the author has compressed
all that is worth knowing of the subject, and the volume is as
interesting in the reading as it is dainty to look
upon."--_Manchester Courier._
"May be recommended as a well-condensed biography. There is nothing
new to be said about Columbus, but in this little book his voyages,
his triumphs, his difficulties and disappointments, are carefully
and concisely described."--_Manchester Guardian._
