"Prof. Van Dyke takes his reader's imagination cap- 

 tive with prose in which we feel the sea's own glamour 

 of beauty and movement and mystery, its glory of color 

 and power." New York Tribune. 



"Pleasure awaits the reader of 'The Opal Sea.'" 

 Boston Evening Transcript. 



"The history, the poetry, the science, and the end- 

 less aspects of the sea are given in a style that will charm 

 all lovers of the ocean." The Independent. 



"Will be read for the pleasure which the work of a 

 skillful observer wielding a practised pen is bound to 

 give; and the pleasure will be great. Prof. Van Dyke 

 is a master of the art of 'seascape' who need fear no 

 comparison." The Spectator (London). 



"No English writer, and no other writer except 

 Michelet, has done as much as Mr. Van Dyke to arrange 

 attractively what has been in the course of ages learned 

 about the sea." The World (London). 



"We strongly approve the combination of gifts which 

 represent Prof. Van Dyke's literary equipment and wish 

 to commend his books most cordially to intelligent 

 readers." The Standard (London). 



"Lovers of the sea and lovers of nature generally will 

 find much to interest them in this book, and here and 

 there passages that may enthrall them." 



Literary World (London). 



"Prof. Van Dyke's being at heart a poet of the sea 

 is proved in his fine raptures on well-nigh everything of 

 the deep." Daily Chronicle (London).
