LETTERS OF OHN pAe. PRINTED FROM THE UNPUBLISHED ORIGINALS IN MR. W. K. BIXBYS COLLECTION INTRODUCTORY REMARKS BY GENERAL HORACE PORTER AND FRANKLIN B. SANBORN BOSTON MDCCCCV PRINTED EXCLUSIVELY FOR MEMBERS OF THE BIBLIOPHILE SOCIETY Copyright, 1905, by THE BIBLIOPHILE SOCIETY All rights reserved 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 countrys service during the American Revolution. The original letters, which are now almost priceless relics of that period, form a part of Mr. Bixbys 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 Societys treasury re maining 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 contribu tions. HUNT L1BRARY C - MU THE FOLLOWING NOTE WAS WRITTEN BY GENERAL HORACE PORTER, FORMERLY AMERICAN AMBASSADOR TO FRANCE, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS VOLUME OF LET TERS OF JOHN PAUL JONES JOHN PAUL JONESS life was an open book. It contained no sealed chapters. If the his torical facts related of him were entirely destroyed, nearly all the events of his ex traordinary career would be found recorded in his letters, diaries, and memoranda. He was one of the most prolific writers of the Revolutionary period, rivaling even Wash ington himself in that respect. When we reflect that in that age one could not com mand the services of stenographers and typewriters, we realize the prodigious laborinvolved in such a voluminous mass of cor respondence. In the case of Paul Jones, he did not confine his writings to his native lan guage, but employed also those of other 7 countries. He possessed in a high degree the gift of acquiring foreign tongues. He spoke French and Spanish, and while there is no authentic proof as to how well he wrote the latter, we know that much of his cor respondence was conducted in very good French. While he wrote that language in a somewhat labored manner and made at times one or two drafts, with corrections, of an important communication before he prepared the final copy, he expressed his thoughts correctly and felt quite sure of himself in writing as well as in speaking that tongue. His style was elaborate and the sentences were carefully rounded, which gave his writ ten documents the appearance of having been well studied. This, however, was char acteristic of most public men at that time, and in the case of Paul Jones it was probably emphasized by the fact that his style was influenced, perhaps unconsciously, by the genius of the French language, which often requires elaborated sentences and para phrases to express an idea with proper dig nity and elegance. 8 The publication at this time of this volume of letters two of which are given in fac simile cannot fail to be of absorbing in terest, as they present, in a graphic and pe culiarly attractive form, communications of rare historic value, and at the same time ex hibit those distinctive traits of the man, to which the handwriting is often the clearest attestation. HORACE PORTER THE extraordinary career of John Paul Jones has been the occasion of so many biographies, the theme of so many novels, fromFenimore Cooper and Allan Cunning ham to Winston Churchill and Miss Jewett, that his name is now better known than that of any other American naval hero. Not so well known, probably, is his untiring indus try as a letter-writer, and his proclivity to quarrels though these traits are sometimes dwelt on to his disparagement by his biog raphers...
