Overview
White Jacket By Herman Melville "White Jacket" written by Herman Melville (best known for his classic whaling novel) was first published in 1850 and is considered to be a semi-biographical book, written from Melville's own personal experiences while returning home to the Atlantic Coast from the South Seas with the American Navy on a man-o'-war vessel. In the note preceding the novel, Melville states, "In the year 1843 I shipped as 'ordinary seaman' on board of a United States frigate then lying in a harbor of the Pacific Ocean. After remaining in this frigate for more than a year, I was discharged from the service . . ." We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.
