Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Rear-Admiral John Paul Jones: Chevalier of the Military Order of Merit, and of the Russian Order of St. Anne, &C. &C The following Life of Rear-Admiral Paul Jones, is formed on the basis of the Edinburgh "Memoirs," published under the sanction of his family connexions. Some alterations and additions have been made by the American editor, and all the naval embellishments are from original drawings, by Mr. Hamilton, the portraits by Mr. Croome and others. The following extract from the Preface to the Edinburgh "Memoirs," will show the sources from which this biography has been compiled. So much of the work was written by Jones´s own hand, that the American editor has felt reluctant to make changes. The papers from which the present work is compiled may now be enumerated: - it is, however, in the first place, worthy of notice, that though Paul Jones acted a prominent part in the American war, a very small portion of his public life was spent in America.
