History
The Men of the Merchant Service: Being the polity of the mercantile marine for 'longshore readers
Bullen, Frank Thomas
Merchant marine; Merchant mariners; Sailors
_TIMES._--'Full of thrilling adventure, admirably told.... We
must leave Mr. Bullen's touching story of his early struggles and
adventures to speak for itself. His descriptive powers are great, his
literary imagination is vivid, and he finds abundant opportunities
for the display of both.'
_REVIEW OF REVIEWS._--'To most of us "The Log of a Sea-Waif" will
come almost as a revelation. We know of no other book, with perhaps
the sole exception of "Two Years before the Mast," which can compare
for a moment with Mr. Bullen's work.'
_LITERATURE._--'The book is one of uncommon interest. Mr. Bullen
has the art of the narrator, and a power of putting a scene
vividly before the reader, with occasionally a masterly vigour
of description. It is well worth buying; the stamp of reality is
impressed upon every page.'
_BOOKMAN._--'A mine of information and of interest for those who
concern themselves with seafaring folk.... A brave and inspiriting
story.'
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._--'Those who love the sea, and have a soft spot
in their hearts for the men who make their living upon it, will
heartily enjoy Mr. Bullen's book, as we have done.'

This work is the outcome of Dr. Doyle's experiences with the Army in
South Africa. The author's painstaking methods in historical work are
as well known to readers as his skill as a story-teller; and this
history of the Boer War is differentiated from other accounts in that
it covers the whole arena of the military operations.
