An Unabridged, Edition to Include All Four Parts, With Original
Footnotes and Illustrations -
The amount of material bearing on Paul Jones is very large, and
consists mainly of his extensive correspondence, published and
unpublished, his journals, memoirs by his private secretary and
several of his officers, published and unpublished impressions by
his contemporaries, and a number of sketches and biographies, some
of which contain rich collections of his letters and extracts from
his journals. The biographies which I have found most useful are
the "Life," by John Henry Sherburne, published in 1825, which is
mainly a collection of Jones's correspondence; another volume,
composed largely of extracts from his letters and journals, called
the "Janette-Taylor Collection," published in 1830; the first and
only extended narrative at once readable and impartial, by
Alexander Slidell MacKenzie, published in 1845; and the recently
published "Life" by Augustus C. Buell. To Mr. Buell's exhaustive
work I am indebted for considerable original material not otherwise
accessible to me. On the basis of the foregoing mass of material I
have attempted, in a short sketch, to give merely an unbiased
account of the man.
