Davis, John The Post-Captain; or, The Wooden Walls Well-Manned; Comprehending a View of Naval Society and Manners (1806)
London Thomas Tegg Etc 1815 Hard Cover
New Edition. Frontispiece. Late C19th black leather over grey marbled boards, with letters G. G. L at foot of spine. Leather grazed on corners and rubbed on lower portion of spine, traces of removed bookplate on front pastedown, foxing and brown-spotting throughout, good. Sadleir [678] for the very scarce first edition. A short novel -- largely comic -- of naval life, and often cited as the origin of the phrase "tell it to the marines". Captain Brilliant, when told unlikely stories, exclaims variations on the phrase: eg "He may tell that to the marines, but the sailors will not believe him." (p29).
