He was the son of Joseph Marryat, a civil servant, who had written pamphlets in support of the Slave Trade and later became M. P. for Sandwich. Frederick joined the Navy in H.M.S. 'Imperieuse' in 1806. In 1820 he was promoted captain, and took command of the sloop 'Beaver' at St. Helena, where Napoleon was in exile. He remained there until the ex-emperor's death in 1821. After a distinguished career in various parts of the world, Marryat retired from the navy in 1830, and devoted the remainder of his life to writing. His clear, straightforward style makes his novels an important link between those of Smollett and Fielding and Charles Dickens. He died in Langham manor in Norfolk on 9th August 1848." Exquisitely illustrated by Lionel Edwards (7 in color and 14 in B&W). A wonderful color illustration on the front opf dj and beautifully decorated covers underneath.

The circumstances which I am about to relate to my juvenile readers took place in the year 1647. By referring to the history of England, of that date, they will find that King Charles the First, against whom the Commons of England had rebelled, after a civil war of nearly five years, had been defeated, and was confined as a prisoner at Hampton Court. The Cavaliers, or the party who fought for King Charles, had all been dispersed and the Parliamentary army under the command of Cromwell were beginning to control the Commons.
