Commodore, Your very humble and very obedient servant, BOGHOS JOUSSOUFF. THE END. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LONDON: HARRISON AND CO., PRINTERS, ST. MARTIN’S LANE. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BY THE SAME AUTHOR. --- _In Two Volumes, Post Octavo, with Plans, price 21s._, AN ACCOUNT OF THE WAR IN PORTUGAL BETWEEN DON PEDRO AND DON MIGUEL. -------------- OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. “The personal character of the Author is not only impressed upon almost every page, but the book contains a narrative of one, and to all appearance the most important of the leaves out of a hero’s life, written by himself. It is Cæsar’s Commentaries in the first person, wanting the classical eloquence of the Roman, but equally devoid of his concealed vanity, and his suspected partiality. Grander battles have been fought, more gallant never. It is rare to have a description of such a fight from its hero, even in a gazette; but it is still rarer to have an account of his feelings.”—_Spectator._ “The gallant Commodore’s description of the battle off Cape St. Vincent is one of the most stirring nautical sketches that has fallen under our observation.”—_United Service Gazette._ “An excellent and spirit-stirring book—plain, honest, and straight forward—the very stuff of which the web of history alone should be composed. This is, indeed, an honest, fair and impartial history.”—_Morning Chronicle._ “In spirit and in keeping, from beginning to end, Admiral Napier’s War in Portugal is the happiest picture we could conceive of the hero of the battle off Cape St. Vincent, its especial excellence consisting in a regardless bluntness of manner and language, that is quite admirable and delightful.”—_Monthly Review._ “If Commodore Napier be not distinguished by the commonplace facilities of authorship, he possesses the higher qualities of truth, discretion, end clear-sightedness, in no small degree.”—_Atlas._ “In speaking of himself and his deeds, he has hit the just and difficult medium—showing his real feelings, yet steering clear of affected modesty on the one hand, and over-weening egotism on the other hand.”—_Tait’s Magazine._ “This is a very graphic account of the affairs in which the gallant author figured so nobly, and added fresh lustre to the name of Napier.”—_News._ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NEW WORKS
