Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketches in Ultra-Marine, Vol. 1 of 2
These volumes comprise in one collection the contents of three little books published by me, during the years 1848 and 1849; and some papers which enjoyed the advantage Of appearing in the United Service Magazine, at a more recent period. They have all, more or less, been favoured with public notice and a fair circulation; and, I have reason to believe, are well known in the professions to which they more particularly relate. As I now send them forth revised (a part, too, for the third time), it may not be impertinent to preface them with a few words of explanation and elucidation.
