Jacob Faithful (Classic Reprint)1kg Limited, Jul 16, 2015 - 468 pages Excerpt from Jacob Faithful The book fulfils the requirements of its class by being thoroughly interesting and lively; though we could Spare the frequent puns, for which indeed the taste of his generation, perpetually tickled by Theodore Hook, is more responsible than the author. The story of a handsome youth's rise from absolute poverty to Wealth and happiness was a favourite one with Marryat, and becomes, in his hands, sufficiently probable for the world of romance. Jacob's luck is amusing and not offensive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
