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 "fhe 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 bondon.
" 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.
