The journals of the time are crowded with adventures such as these, and the few here referred to have been selected merely at random. But they give an idea of the adventurous spirit and daring enterprise of the Yankee tars and captains. On Many Seas. _THE LIFE AND EXPLOITS OF A YANKEE SAILOR._ BY FREDERICK BENTON WILLIAMS, EDITED BY HIS FRIEND, WILLIAM STONE BOOTH. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS. "Every line of this hits the mark, and to any one who knows the forecastle and its types the picture appeals with the urgency of old familiar things. All through his four hundred and more pages he is equally unaffected and forcible, equally picturesque. To go through one chapter is to pass with lively anticipation to the next. His book is destined to be remembered."--_New York Tribune._ "The book reads like a romance, but is at the same time realistic history, before which the fancy ships and the fancy sailors of the novelist are pale and faded."--_Baltimore Sun._ "The charm of the book is its simplicity and truth. The author, as I happen to know, can spin thrilling yarns by the hour, and this book of his is simply one long yarn of his life. A seaman every inch of him, he writes as only a sailor can. No landsman, no amateur yachtsman, could write a book like this. The entire book bears the stamp of truth, and in this age of literary shams that is a crowning merit."--_New York Herald._ * * * * * THE MACMILLAN COMPANY, 66 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK.
