The author has performed acceptable service n
presenting to the public new anil beautiful edition Of
the life of the chevalier John Paul JONES' captain

Previous 10 the publication of the first edition of this
work, the character of Paul Jones imperfecy
understood in this the country of his adoption. The
vena British press and British antpahies had been the
sources OF his defamation and he had for the most part
been depicted as cruel, unprncpled, punderer, and
pirate The author, however, by careful research and
examination of authentic documents, both public and
private, has presented work which, while most credlta

From this moment he devoted all his talent and energies

the commission he held from the American Congress,
and the appreciation expressed by that body for his gal
