  _The_ Rev. Dr. HORTON, _in his Sermon on behalf of the British and Foreign Bible Society, referred to Mr. Bullen’s ‘Cruise of the “Cachalot”’ in the following terms_:

  ‘It is a very remarkable book in every way; it seems to me worthy to rank with some of the writings of Defoe. It has absolutely taken the shine out of some of the romantic literature of such writers as even Stevenson and Rudyard Kipling. By the strange law that truth is more wonderful than fiction, this book is more wonderful than the wildest dreams of the creator of imagination.’

  _WORLD._—‘We have read many stories of sea life, but do not remember to have been so fascinated and enthralled by any of them as by this masterly presentation of the humours, hardships, and minor tragedies of life in the forecastle.’
