Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, Vol. 255: Or Critical Journal: For July, 1901;;; October, 1901; To Be Continued Quarterly Of all the brave men who have devoted their lives to the establishing and confirming England´s empire of the seas, the one whose name, first after Nelson´s, would rise spontaneously to the popular lips is undoubtedly Drake. Round his memory there is a golden halo, richly set, too, with precious stones, which lightens up the obscurity of tradition and legend; and even when viewed with the aid of the lamp of history, his story still shines forth brilliant beyond the conception of fable. It is to elucidating this story, to illustrating its relation to the winning of that sea-power which has been England´s heritage for the last three centuries, that Mr. Corbett has devoted the patient labour of many years, now represented by the admirable volumes whose titles stand at the head of this article. No. 3, being a collection of official and other contemporary documents printed for the Navy Records Society, is the framework of the narrative of the West Indian campaign of 1585-6, and of the raid on Cadiz in 1587, just as the companion volumes relating to the defeat of the Spanish Armada are for the events of 1588.
