This article focuses on the book "The Autobiography of Commorade Morris," by J.R. Soley. According to the author of this article, this book is an autobiography of one of the greatest American naval officers, relating in modest and expressive language the stirring scenes of the naval wars of the early part of the century, in which the narrator was an actual participant, is now brought to light by Professor Soley, and offered to the Naval Institute. The interest of the book culminates in the description of this splendid action, which is given with a seaman's vigor and simplicity, and with a modesty concerning the narrator's own important part in the combat, which is peculiarly attractive.
