superior to any description of nautical scenes hitherto laid

Cooper the American novelist has no living superior.”--_Scotsman._

“The pages of George Godfrey remind us frequently of the author
of Tom Jones. The same minute acquaintance with a peculiar
department of life, from which the great mass of mankind is by
various circumstances entirely excluded, and we had almost said
the same graphic power in giving animation to scenes apparently
indifferent in themselves, are, we think, visible in the two
productions.”--_Monthly Review._
“This is a novel of the good old Roderick Random breed.”--_New
Monthly Magazine._
“Like those great masters, Fielding and Smollet, the author has
drawn his materials from the open and living fountains of truth
and reality.”--_Literary Chronicle._
