FROM THE COMMENCEMENT OF HOSTILITIES TO THE CAPTURE OF THE
CITY OF MEXICO.

BY

REV. FITCH W. TAYLOR, A. M., U. S. N.

AUTHOR OF

"" THE FLAG SHIP;" "A VOYAGE AROUND THE WORLD;" " ELLA
V—, OR THE JULY TOUR," ETC.

"A noble Frigate in the stream was lying,

And at her gaff her Nation's Flag was flying;
THE BROAD BLUE PENNANT floated at her main,

In heaven's own coloring and starry train;

Her low, dark hull in symmetry and grace,
Loomed on the view as she rode in her place;
And her tall, slight spars tapered in their height,
Herself a thing of beauty to the sight.”

NEW-YORK:

LEAVITT, TROW & CO., 191 BROADWAY.
