NORDHOFF, CHARLES.
Sailor Life on a Man-of-War.
Dodd. 2.00

To give a sailor's impressions of a sailor's life ... has been
the aim. Neither exaggerating its hardships--they do not need
it--nor highly coloring its delights, whatever those may be, the
very plainest truth has been thought sufficient for the purpose
in view.--_Original Preface._

Many changes and improvements have come about since 1854, when (p. 151)
this volume was written, but it is republished without alteration of
the text, so as to give a picture of sailor days before the introduction
of steam.
