Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Life of Edward Lord Hawke: Admiral of the Fleet, Vice-Admiral of Great Britain, and First Lord of the Admiralty From 1766 to 1771 In order to bring the new edition of Lord Hawke´s Life within the limits required for circulation in the present day, it has been necessary to change its character in one important respect. When it was first written there was so little known about the great admiral and his special work in the development of the British Navy that it was thought best to give a sketch of the condition of the naval service at and about his period, and also to enter more fully into the politics of his time than was necessary for a mere biography. Some sort of frame-work for the picture appeared desirable. Under existing circumstances so large a book is not required. Great attention has been drawn to naval history during the last few years, principally by means of the late splendid and popular Naval Exhibition at Chelsea, and by Captain Mahan´s instructive work on "Sea Power." The influences derived from both these sources may be already traced, not only in history but in many other directions.
