OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
4 A most spirited and interesting narrative. Mr. Cooper has never been seen to
more advantage.”—luterary Gazette.
“This work is entitled to high praise.” — Spectator.
“ Written with great spirit and good feeling.”— Times.
“In every respect quite equal—in some decidedly superior—to any preceding
story by the same author.”—Morning Post.
‘“‘ Never has Mr. Cooper’s pen been more successful than in the present story.
In ‘ Homeward Bound,’ after so long an interval partially devoted to publications o
a different description, he bursts upon us like a giant ‘ refreshed.’ " Globe.
“The interest of this novel is so absorbing, and such is the skill with which
every circumstance is described, that we are rivetted to the page with almost as
earnest a feeling as if we participated in the exciting perils and adventures of the
gallant Montauk and its passengers. "The management of the ship at sea, the
disasters on the coast of Africa, the raft, and the wreck, and indeed every particle
of the nautical panorama, is in the highest degree spirited and faithful. " Home¬
ward Bound’ is indeed a remarkable work, and may be ranked amongst the best of
Mr. Cooper’s tales.” —Atlas.
“This book is really what it professes to be, " A Story of the Sea,’ and in many
respects it is the finest novel of its class yet produced by the Smollett of America.
The plot is simple ; and yet what diversity of incident—what startling situations—
what singular characters—what change of scene does it not involve! In the
adventures and perils of the Montauk, a sympathy is excited by the rare power of
the novelist, as though the ship were a human being. Her flight through the vast
waste of waters, her dangers by storm and wreck, and the strange circumstances
that befel her on the wild and desolate coast of Africa, keep curiosity perpetually
on the alert, and urge the reader onwards in the narrative with the same breathless
haste as that by which the vessel herself was propelled before the wind.”—Naval
and Military Gazette.
