tensifies the picture of the sea which Mr. Bullen had already produced.... Calm, shipwreck, the surface and depths of the sea, the monsters of the deep, superstitions and tales of the sailors--all find a place in this strange and exciting book."--_Chicago Times-Herald._ BY CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY. The Quiberon Touch. A Romance of the Sea. With frontispiece. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. "A story to make your pulse leap and your eyes glisten. It fairly glows with color and throbs with movement."--_Philadelphia Item._ "This story has a real beauty; it breathes of the sea. Fenimore Cooper would not be ashamed to own a disciple in the school of which he was master in these descriptions of the tug of war as it was in the eighteenth century between battle-ships under sail."--_New York Mail and Express._ Commodore Paul Jones. A new volume in the GREAT COMMANDER SERIES, edited by General James Grant Wilson. With Photogravure Portrait and Maps. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50 net; postage, 11 cents additional. "A thousand times more interesting than any of the so-called historical romances that are now in vogue."--_Spirit of the Times._ "Mr. Brady's vigorous style, vivid imagination, and dramatic force are most happily exhibited in this book."--_Philadelphia Press._ "Incomparably fine. Being the work of a scholarly writer, it must stand as the best popular life yet available. The book is one to buy and own. It is more interesting than any novel, and better written than most histories."--_Nautical Gazette._ Reuben James. A Hero of the Forecastle. A new volume in the Young HEROES OF OUR NAVY SERIES. Illustrated by George Gibbs and Others. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00. "A lively and spirited narrative."--_Boston Herald._ "Mr. Brady has made a stirring tale out of the material before him, one of those brilliant and forceful descriptions of the glories of the old wooden-walled navy, which stir the blood like a trumpet call."--_Brooklyn Eagle._ By EDGAR STANTON MACLAY, A. M. A History of the United States Navy. (1775 to 1902.)--New and revised edition. In three volumes, the new volume containing an Account of the Navy since the Civil War, with a history of the Spanish-American War revised to the date of this edition, and an Account of naval operations in the Philippines, etc. Technical Revision of the first two volumes by Lieutenant ROY C.
