Description

Excerpt from Lives of Distinguished American Naval Officers, Vol. 1: Bainbridge, Shaw, Somers, Shubrick, Preble These sketches originally appeared in Graham's Magazine, a periodical for which they pressly written. The present Opportunity for eh larginghcorrecting, and, it is hoped, for improving them, has not been neglected. Many errors of the press, and some mistakes in facts, have been at tended to, while new matter is occasionally intro duced, as authentic materials have been obtained, through the attention that has been drawn to the subject by means of the former publication. In the cases of Paul J ones and Oliver Hazard Perry, in particular, the first appearance of the respective sketches brought into 'our hands a' considerable amount of additional documents that have thrown new light on the several careers of those two offi cers. In the case of Paul Jones, it is true that our testimony is derived from relatives, and to a 'certain point is to be received with caution; all experience proving that the opinions of near friends are not to be accepted, in such cases, as guides for the world. Proof is proof, nevertheless, when all its conditions are fulfilled, let it come from what quarter it may.
