Book excerpt: Excerpt from Deeds or Naval Daring: Anecdotes of the British Navy The year 1761 witnessed an action which may fairly be set down as one of the most conspi cuous for the daring it exhibited, most successful in its results to the victors, and most singular in the circumstances under which it was fought, for we see an Officer carrying valuable freights, which would, had merely prudential considera tions existed, have been sufficient justification for his avoiding an action with an enemy of equal force, seeking out and pursuing with energy antagonist far superior to himself in every respect, under the following circumstances.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Second Series of Deeds of Naval Daring, or Anecdotes of the British Navy Captain Salter, In his official letter, pays a high tribute to the gallant and officer-like conduct of Visconte de Montguiote In leading his ship into action This officer was killed early In the fight, When. The second in command, the Chevalier de Lemne, did everything that an experienced ofl'icer in his situation could possibly do, and did not Surrender until himself and all his oficers saye One, and about half his Ship's company, were either killed or wounded, While his masts were so crippled as to be In danger of going over the side every moment, several guns were dismounted, and he had four feet water in the hold - a a situation Sufficiently bad to justify to his king and country the necessity of Surrender.

Download or read book The Royal Navy in the Age of Austerity 1919 22 written by G. H. Bennett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book thoroughly explores and analyses naval policy during the period of austerity that followed the First World War. During this post-war period, as the Royal Navy identified Japan its likely opponent in a future naval war, the British Government was forced to “tighten its belt” and cut back on naval expenditure in the interests of “National Economy”. G.H. Bennett draws connections between the early 20th century and the present day, showing how the same kind of connections exist between naval and foreign policy, the provision of ships for the Royal Navy, business and regional prosperity and employment. The Royal Navy in the Age of Austerity 1919-22 engages with a series of important historiographical debates relating to the history of the Royal Navy, the failures of British Defence policy in the inter-war period and the evolution of British foreign policy after 1919, together with more mundane debates about British economic, industrial, social and political history in the aftermath of the First World War. It will be of great interest to scholars and students of British naval history.

Download or read book On the Various Contrivances by which British and Foreign Orchids are Fertilised by Insects and on the Good Effects of Intercrossing written by Charles Darwin and published by . This book was released on 1862 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First edition of Darwin's primary work on plant fertilization. Detailing the relationship between the sexual structure of orchids and the insects that fertilize them, this was the first of three volumes that followed the publication of the Origin which contained supporting evidence for the author's theory of natural selection. Darwin concludes that plants are equal to animals in the marvels of their adaptation; for example, he observes that wind-pollinated flowers have no colours; it is only those insect-pollinated varieties that have bright coloured petals and sweet smelling nectars.
