Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memories of a Rear-Admiral, Who Has Served for More Than Half a Century in the Navy of the United States
Havinc read with great interest the Biography of Charles Biddle, edited by Mr. Henry Biddle, of Phila delphia, and having had occasion to write to the latter concerning some matters about which I happened to know he was well informed, I referred to the work above mentioned, and told him how much genuine pleasure the perusal of its pages had afforded me. In his reply, after most kindly giving me the information which I desired, he said: As you have probably your self been so much around the world, you ought to leave some record of your travels and adventures, which I doubt not would be very entertaining and interesting.
