absorbing as those of romance. His achievements
during the American Revolution--the fight between the Bon Homme Richard and
Serapis, the most desperate naval action on record--and the alarm into
which, with so small a force, he threw the coasts of England and
Scotland--are matters comparatively well known to Americans; but the
incidents of his subsequent career have been veiled in obscurity, which is
dissipated by this biography. A book like this, narrating the actions of
such a man, ought to meet with an extensive sale, and become as popular as
Robinson Crusoe in fiction, or Weems's Life of Marion and Washington, and
similar books, in fact. It contains 400 pages, has a handsome portrait and
medallion likeness of Jones, and is illustrated with numerous original wood
engravings of naval scenes and distinguished men with whom he was familiar.
