THIS interesting work, which is beauti- fully illustrated, is, as its title indicates, well calculated to fulfil the object for which it was written. Any seeking information relative to the LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION, its operations and its work, will find all they want in its thrilling pages. In addition to much other en- grossing matter, the gallant exploits of the Life - boat crews are graphically described, and cannot fail to excite a lively interest in the cause. We can cordially recommend the perusal of "The Book of the Life-boat," to the many readers of the LIFE-BOAT JOURNAL, and indeed to all who care for the well - being of their fellow- creatures..
