LIFE OF PAUL JONES.

WITH ONE HUNDRED ILl.u.s.tRATIONS

BY JAMES HAMILTON.

The work is compiled from his original journals and correspondence, and includes an account of his services in the American Revolution, and in the war between the Russians and Turks in the Black Sea. There is scarcely any Naval Hero, of any age, who combined in his character so much of the adventurous, skilful and daring, as Paul Jones. The incidents of his Life are almost as startling and absorbing as those of romance. His achievements during the American Revolution--the fight between the Bon Homme Richard and Serapis, the most desperate naval action on record--and the alarm into which, with so small a force, he threw the coasts of England and Scotland--are matters comparatively well known to Americans; but the incidents of his subsequent career have been veiled in obscurity, which is dissipated by this biography. A book like this, narrating the actions of such a man, ought to meet with an extensive sale, and become as popular as Robinson Crusoe in fiction, or Weems's Life of Marion and Was.h.i.+ngton, and similar books, in fact. It contains 400 pages, has a handsome portrait and medallion likeness of Jones, and is ill.u.s.trated with numerous original wood engravings of naval scenes and distinguished men with whom he was familiar.

"It is by far the fullest and most interesting biography of General Taylor that we have ever seen."--_Richmond (Whig) Chronicle_.

"On the whole, we are satisfied that this volume is the most correct and comprehensive one yet published."--_Hunt's Merchants' Magazine_.

"The superiority of this edition over the ephemeral publications of the day consists in fuller and more authentic accounts of his family, his early life, and Indian wars. The narrative of his proceedings in Mexico is drawn partly from reliable private letters, but chiefly from his own official correspondence."

"It forms a cheap, substantial, and attractive volume, and one which should be read at the fireside of every family who desire a faithful and true life of the Old General."
