Herman Melville 



MOBY DICK. Here we have a moving book which could have been 

 written only by a writer of genius who had lived a life of peril. Such 

 incidents as these could not have been invented. Herman Melville went 

 upon a whaling expedition, and we have the result in these stirring pages. 

 The sense of reality is wonderful, and the tale made the writer famous 

 all over the world. It is now a classic. 



Sam Noble 



'TWEEN DECKS IN THE 'SEVENTIES. A book that any boy 

 worth calling a boy will delight to read and have for his own. It is a
