“Worth a dozen of the ordinary memoirs with which the market is flooded. For 
it is a genuine ‘human document,’ a revelation of the thoughts and doings of a typical 
English sailorman during the most stirring years in our naval history. . . We have 
found the book delightful reading.”— Spectator. 
“. . . Such excellent stuff, and in such racy, straightforward English. . . . Un¬ 
commonly good reading. It makes us think of some of Captain Marryat’s pictures 
of what they did at sea in the brave days of old.”— Standard.

Edward Whymper. Medium 8 vo. 15 s. net. 
“ The illustrations are excellent, and so are the maps. We do not know of any 
book covering so wide a range of exploration equally well. Not only is this volume 
full of attractive information, but also of stirring adventure, some stories of triumph, 
but more of failure and despair.”— Sheffield Independent .

man who has brought to bear in remote parts of the Chinese Empire a full knowledge 
of Chinese characters and the Chinese language.”— Spectator.
