BY E. L. CAREY & A. HART, PHILAD. * * * * * In Three Volumes, 12mo. JACOB FAITHFUL; OR, LIFE ON THE WATER. COMPLETE. By the Author of “PETER SIMPLE,” “KING’S OWN,” &c. “It is replete with amusement and oddity. Poor Jacob was born on the water. ‘It was,’ says he, ‘in a floating sort of a box, called a lighter, and upon the river Thames, that I first smelt the mud.’”--_Baltimore Gazette._ “Equal in merit to Peter Simple, and perhaps even more entertaining, are the adventures of Jacob Faithful, another of the whimsical creations of Captain Marryatt’s prolific brain.”--_Saturday Courier._ “It is full of character and incident, and will, we doubt not, be a universal favourite.”--_Lit. Gaz._ * * * * * In Three Volumes, 12mo. PETER SIMPLE; OR, ADVENTURES OF A MIDSHIPMAN. COMPLETE. By the Author of the “KING’S OWN,” “NAVAL OFFICER,” &c. “The quiet humour which pervades the work is irresistibly amusing, and the fund of anecdote and description which it contains, entertaining. The humour sometimes approaches to downright burlesque, and the incident to extravagance, if not improbability; but, altogether, as a book of amusement, it is excellent.”--_Baltimore Gazette._ “Those who are the most competent to Judge, say that Captain Marryatt is altogether superior to any other writer of naval sketches or descriptions, living or dead.”--_N. Y. Commercial Advertiser._ “This is the best work that Captain Marryatt has produced.”--_Atlas._ “‘Peter Simple’ is certainly the most amusing of Captain Marryatt’s amusing novels; a species of picture quite unique; a class by themselves, full of humour, truth, and graphic sketches.”--_Literary Gazette._ “This is an admirable work, and worthy of the noble service it is written to illustrate.”--_Spectator._ * * * * * In Two Volumes, 12mo. THE NAVAL OFFICER; OR, SCENES AND ADVENTURES IN THE LIFE OF FRANK MILDMAY. By the Author of “PETER SIMPLE,” “THE KING’S OWN,” etc. “This is the most seaman-like composition that has yet issued from the press. We recommend it to all who ‘live at home at ease,’ and need scarcely say, that no man-of-wars man should remain an hour without it.”--_Atlas._ The following beautiful and judicious compliment to the genius of Captain Marryatt, author of the Naval Officer, is from the pen of Mr. Bulwer, who, it will be acknowledged, is no inexperienced or unobserving critic:
