                       THE CRUISE OF THE MIDGE.
                 By the Author of "TOM CRINGLE'S LOG."



                        In Two Volumes, 12mo.

                        THE MAN-OF-WAR'S-MAN.
                 By the Author of "TOM CRINGLE'S LOG."

"No stories of adventures are more exciting than those of seamen. The
warrior of Tom Cringle's Log is the most popular writer of that class,
and those sketches collected not long since into a volume by the same
publishers, in this city, were universally read. A large edition was
soon exhausted. The present is, we believe, an earlier production, and
has many of the same merits."--_Baltimore Gazette._



                        In Two Volumes, 12mo.

                          THE PORT ADMIRAL;
                          A TALE OF THE SEA.
                    By the Author of "CAVENDISH."

                     LIVES OF THE ENGLISH PIRATES,
                       HIGHWAY-MEN, AND ROBBERS.

                         BY CHARLES WHITEHEAD.

"These are truly entertaining volumes, fraught with anecdote, and
abounding in extraordinary adventures."--_Naval and Military Gazette._



                        In Two Volumes, 12mo.

                              CAVENDISH;
                       OR, THE PATRICIAN AT SEA.

        _The following Notice is from the pen of Mr. Bulwer._

"The peculiar characteristics of Captain Marryatt are shared by some
of his nautical brethren; and the author of 'Cavendish' has evinced
much ability and very vigorous promise in the works that have issued
from his pen."

"We should find it very difficult to be very angry with the
'Patrician,' even if he had fifty times his real number of faults, on
account of the jovial, easy, reckless, off-hand style of character
that seems to belong to him. Our sea portraits multiply so fast, and
advance so rapidly in excellence, that we become fastidious, and
insist upon a likeness where formerly we were contented with a
caricature. 'Cavendish' partakes of both.... Into these thousand or
rather ten thousand scrapes, we cannot follow him, but the reader may,
much to his advantage. The Navarine narrative, in particular, will be
read with an interest proportioned to the truth and spirit with which
it is told."--_New Monthly Magazine._
