MARRYATT'S NOVELS, 



DUODECIMO LIBRARY EDITION. 



TEE UNDERSIGNED HAVE JUST READY 



THE FIRST COMPLETE AMERICAN EDITION 



OF THE CELEBRATED NAUTICAL NOVELS OF CAPTAIN MARKYATT. 



THESE has long been an active demand among the thousands of 

 admirers of this favorite author, for a uniform and readable edition of 

 his popular and delightful novels ; that demand is now supplied by 

 the issue of this new and beautiful edition ; the type is open and 

 clear, paper and binding faultless ; in size, matching the new editions 

 of Irving and Cooper ; each work illustrated with a new steel -frontis- 

 piece, and complete in one volume, as follows : 



PETER SIMPLE, JACOB FAITHFUL, 



THE KING'S OWN, PACHA OF MANY TALES, 



MIDSHIPMAN EASY, JAPHET IN SEAECH OF A FATHER, 



SNARLEYYOW, THE PHANTOM SHIP, 



NEWTON FORSTER, THE POACHER, 



THE NAVAL OFFICER, PERCIVAL KEENE. 



" Captain Marryatt's writings depict life at sea with the same fidelity, and with far 

 more spirit, than any of the fashionable novels portray a rout, a ball, or a breakfast, and 

 we much prefer the subject as well as the talent of the nautical novels ; a storm at sea is 

 more animating than a crash at St. James' ; we prefer a shipwreck to a ruin at Crock- 

 ford's ; the sly humor of the old sailor is more amusing than the exclusive slang of Bond 

 Street, and a frigate action calls up higher feelings and qualities than a hostile meeting in 

 Battersea Fields. Captain Marryatt's productions are happy in more senses than one : 

 he employs neither the effort nor the prolixity of Cooper ; his conception of character is 

 so facile and felicitous that his personages immediately become our intimate acquaint- 

 ance and astonish us by their faithful resemblance to whole classes of beings similarly 

 situated. Captain Marryatt's humor is genuine, it flows naturally, and insensibly com- 

 municates to the reader the gaiety the author seems himself animated with." West- 

 minister Review.
