EVERY American boy knows liow Dewey destroyed the Spanish lleet in Manila Bay, 

 but comparatively few liave been made familiar with tlie true story of his early years and 

 his training under Farragut. The author, after careful study, presents a vivid description 

 of Dewey the schoolboy in Vermont, whicii is followed by a sketch of Dewey the midship- 

 man, a picture of iiis part in Farragut's campaigns on tiie Mississippi, and finally a graphic 

 account of Manila and the sequels of the battle. The story of Dewey's share in these exploits 

 is told with a verve and fire which will absorb the interest of readers young and old. The 

 numerous illustrations include the medal and sword given by Congress, and the triumphal arch 

 in New York.
