Additionally, Puleston asks Ashe in this letter a series of questions. Puleston writes, "I am trying very hard to get a good picture in my own mind of Mahan as a Midshipman, and I think you are the only person that can really help me."

A later novel by Hugo featuring a character whose disfigured face is permanently grinning. A 1928 film version of Hugo's novel stars Conrad Veidt with a disconcerting ear-to-ear smile that is said to be the visual inspiration for DC Comics's character, the Joker who made his debut in the first Batman comic in 1940. A glimpse at film stills and the comparison is unmistakable. This copy with an interesting provenance in that this copy with gift inscription from Samuel A. Eaton of Richmond, VA to Thomas W.

Binding is generally worn and tired; printed paper title label is chipped, though not touching the text; textblock is a little loose, but holding well enough; cryptic owner inscription (listing streets that appear to be in Chicago) on the front pastedown but in a way that suggest there is a "story." Anyone who can make a better than reasonable effort at making sense of it will garner a 30% on the book, contact me if you have thoughts. Bookseller's ticket on the rear pastedown.

[Washington], 1839. Disbound. Good binding. Octavo. 46, [2], xxiv. Removed from nonce volume with more recent staples and paper repair covering the spine. Light toning to the margins; light and occasional tidelines; rubber stamp the now defunct Mercantile Library; chip to the fore-edge margin of the final leaf just touching a few words.

Here are published the charges brought by junior officers concerning Elliott's actions during the command of the Mediterranean Squadron. Sabin lists [Washington] as the place of publication while American Imprints tentatively suggests [Philadelphia?]. Sabin 8458; American Imprints 54301; Howes B-215.
