Memoirs of the rise and progress of the Royal Navy

documentary heritage
  • Kupu whakaahua

    "The great importance of the Navy, particularly at the present crisis, whereby every circumstance relating to it becomes an object of national concern, will, it may reasonably be hoped, ensure a favourable reception by the Public, of any attempt at a distinct and brief account of its rise, and advancement to the exalted pitch it has now attained.

    To professional men such an account may prove instructive, and essentially useful ; while the generality of readers will find in it a fund of amusement and valuable information. [...]

    My principal object has been to shew the state of the Navy, as to the number, tonnage, &c. of the several classes of the Ships and Vessels at different periods; when the Naval force was promoted, neglected- or, at least, not augmented; and at what periods improvements in ship-building were introduced into it."--Preface.

    [Keywords: Rare books--19th century]

    Includes an index and list of subscribers. The work sets out to describe the state and condition of the Royal Navy and its ships from the reign of Henry VII in 1485 to 1805, concentrating on the period 1702-1805, with numerous tables and abstracts giving the rate, class of ship, guns, and burthen. In the preface the author states "My principal object has been to shew the state of the Navy, as to the number, tonnage, etc. of several classes of the Ships and vessels at different periods; when the Naval force was promoted, neglected-or, at least, not augmented; and at what periods improvements in Ship-building were introduced into it."
