Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of John Paul Jones, Vol. 2 Sir Walter Scott has left an account of his boyish recollection of the terror which paralyzed the country at the mention of the hated name of Paul Jones. In a letter to Miss Edgeworth of February 24, 1824, he states that he was nine years old in 1779, and well recollected the ma randing crews of Paul Jones. He remarks also upon the extraordinary change in the military state of Edinburgh which took place after Jones's appearance. Originally furnished with only three companies of men under arms, the city immediately after was capable of raising five thou sand with complete appointments, cavalry, artillery, and infantry enough to have taken Paul Jones and his whole equipage.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of John Paul Jones, Vol. 1 The fame of Paul Jones has been the sport of romance and the plaything of tradition ever since the early days of his glorious association with America's struggle for independence. Bringing terror to the simple natives of the stricken British coasts by his descents upon their unprotected ports, hero of wellnigh impossible exploits and of battles fought by moonlight under the lee of their headlands, his name passed into the domain of romantic legend and was one to conjure with. Chapbooks depicted him in highly colored prints, bloodthirsty and terrible, and mothers frightened their children with the bare mention of his name. During the years shortly following his death, history and romance alike were busy with his name. But these histories are now out of print, and only to be found in rare collections or on the reference shelves of public libraries, and the romances have ceased to charm. The patriotic services of General Horace Porter in discovering the hero's forgotten remains and bringing them to America amid manifold honors to a permanent and glorious resting-place at Annapolis have revived public interest in his character and deeds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of John Paul Jones It is due to the generosity of Mr. W. K. Bixby that The Bibliophile Society is permitted to issue for its members this little volume of letters written by John Paul Jones while in our country's service during the American Revolution. The original letters, which are now almost priceless relics of that period, form a part of Mr. Bixby's private collection. The entire cost of issuing this volume (one copy of which is printed for each member) has been paid from the surplus fund in the Society's treasury remaining over from last year. There is, therefore, no charge for the work. The grateful acknowledgments of the Council are due to General Porter and Mr. Sanborn for their introductory remarks, which are free-will contributions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Paul Jones Too much cannot be expected of a mere midship man, but John Paul must have employed his brief time in the navy to good purpose, for in the letters that he afterward wrote to Joseph Hewes and Robert Morris of the needs of the new navy his suggestions were both wise and practical. He also, at about this time, advocated the establishment of a naval school not unlike the one that has since won honor at Annapolis.
