Synopsis
Excerpt from Sea Kings and Naval Heroes: A Book for Boys
The propriety and policy of directing the attention of English boys of the nineteenth century to the achievements of men who, at various periods of modern history, have made their names known to fame as Sea Kings and Naval Heroes, will be questioned by few in the present circumstances of Europe. Under an impression that such is the prevailing senti ment, I have ventured on writing the follow ing biographical sketches, with the object of interesting my juvenile readers in the careers of the principal personages among their anoes tors, who, from the time of Rollo and Hasting to that of Nelson and Collingwood, figured conspicuously as maritime warriors; and I have endeavored to give variety to the work by narrating with care the enterprises, the bat tles, and the adventures in which they took prominent parts.
