It is a typical, dashing, instructive, and thrilling story. It is intended for boys, but there is hardly a person, young or old, who would not be intensely interested in it. Such a book as this should be welcomed by every parent.—Boston Journal.
This volume gives us a most vivid description of the exploits of the old “Constitution” and the brave men under Commander Preble’s command. It is of the best juvenile literature.—The Indianapolis Journal.
It is a thrilling account of the loss of the “Philadelphia,” and of the most famous “cutting out” party in our naval history. It adds a second volume to one of the most interesting series of books for young people.—The Dial.
The ever-stimulating account of “Old Ironsides” and her famous campaign against the Tripolitan pirates forms the basis of one of Mr. Otis’s best stories; correct in its historical facts, interesting from beginning to end, it will be welcomed not only by the younger reader, but by the older one as well.—The Presbyterian.
