LAND AND SEA TALES.
By the OLD SAILOR.
" We have read them, we could not help it. * *
It is really a very superior work."—Metropolitan (Capt. Marryatt. )
" No writer on nautical themes appeals so forcibly to our best
feelings, as does the able and excellent individual who writes under
the true colours of ' The Old Sailor.' "—United Service Journal.
" There is one great charm about the narratives of The Old
Sailor,' they all seem as if they had actually happened, they are
nature !"—Court Journal.
" Half-a-dozen yarns by the author of Greenwich Hospital,'
are a worthy forerunner of Christmas festivities, and will prove a
most desirable adjunct to the thorough enjoyment of the holidays."
—News.
" We have rarely experienced more real gratification than has
been afforded by the perusal of these very unassuming and very
delightful volumes; it is quite refreshing to meet the Old Sailor
again ' • he seems to be quite at home, and is one of the Smollett
school, his humour sparkles with innate irresistible wit. --Sunday
Times.
" We hail, with pleasure, the appearance of another series of
tales, under this title, by the author of Tough Yarns,' &c. They
are, like the former works of the same popular writer, admirably
written, full of interest, and highly characteristic, and are very
happily illustrated by George Cruikshank."—Bell's Life in London.
" The Old Sailor, and author of that clever publication, ' Tough
Yarns', is one of the most pleasing of our naval writers. The able
sketches he has given in his former works have rendered him ex-
tremely popular ; his present Tales are no less spirited and amusing,
the volumes are neatly got up, and illustrated by our friend George
Cruikshank."—Naval and Military Gazette.
By the same Author, in 1 vol. f. cap, with 17 Illustrations by
George Cruikshank, price 10s. 6d. bound in cloth,
TOUGH YARNS.
A Series of Naval Tales and Sketches.

" The Old Sailor paints sea scenes and adventures with vigour
and gusto,—reminding us of Torn Cringle, and with a strong sense
of the comical that approaches Smollett."—Spectator.
