Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England in the Mediterranean, Vol. 1 of 2: A Study of the Rise and Influence of British Power Within the Straits, 1603-1713 The substance of the present work has been given during the past year partly in lectures before the Senior and the Flag Officers' War Courses at Greenwich, and partly in the Ford Lectures on English History for 1903 at Oxford. It is now presented in a complete form on the not inappropriate occasion of the tercentenary of the capture of Gibraltar. In its present shape it is designed in some measure as a continuation of the volumes in which I endeavoured to trace the development Of the eet and the naval art, and the history of naval operations under the Tudors. In approaching the Stuart period, however, it seemed wiser to restrict the field. There can be little doubt that much that is repellent in our naval histories is due to the vast arena they attempt to fill. In the effort to be complete they swing us to and fro from end to end of the earth, till we lose the sense Of continuity, fail to seize any underlying principles, and sink bewildered in a chaos Of facts with no apparent connection and no defined pro gression. It is in the seventeenth century that this com plexity begins to make itself felt, and discretion therefore suggested the desirability of seeking a leading line of development, and following it with as little distraction as possible.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from England in the Mediterranean, Vol. 2 of 2: A Study of the Rise and Influence of British Power Within the Straits, 1603 1713; With Two Illustrations It had been an Old idea of the Braganzas, dating back to the earliest days of their rebellion, to seek support for their cause in wedding a daughter of the House with the Prince of Wales. SO long as the English monarchy kept its head above water, the project had never been lost sight of, and now that the Stuart star was once more rising to the ascendant it was immediately revived.l In the Portuguese Court there can have been little doubt as to the bait that should be offered. The two treaties Of commerce, which England had already concluded with the new kingdom, sufficiently revealed the English desire for a share of the east-indian trade; and when, after Cromwell's abandonment Of the Gibraltar project, his covering fleet had been compelled to base itself on Lisbon, every one must have known what longing eyes England was casting on a naval station in the Straits. Bombay in the Far East, and Tangier, the last of the Portuguese possessions in North Africa, must have naturally suggested themselves. The price was a large one to pay even for the English alliance; but without that alliance there was every probability that both places would be lost - Bombay to the Dutch, and Tangier to the Spaniards or the Moors. It was clearly the wisest policy to spend them while they were still in hand, and to spend them in the market where they would be most highly valued.

Download or read book England in the Mediterranean written by Julian Stafford Corbett and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 1917 work, the first volume of his exhaustive study of the rise of British power in the Mediterranean, Corbett focuses on British naval influence during the Stuart period. By dwelling on battles not fought as much as on those that were, he is able to show how "events which seemed but the most trifling episodes appear as links in a mighty chain." This unique take on a neglected part of English history is indispensable to anyone interested in British naval power in the years between the death of Elizabeth and the Peace of Utrecht. SIR JULIAN STAFFORD CORBETT (1854-1922) was a prominent British naval historian and geostrategist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, whose works helped shape the Royal Navy's reforms of that era. He also wrote The Campaign of Trafalgar, The Seven Years War and Some Principles of Maritime Strategy, which remains a classic among students of naval warfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1660 England was already prosperous, free, civilized, and the possessor of the makings of an empire. In the century to follow, the island nation became the world's greatest power. This cohesive collection of essays on a wide range of topics illuminates important facets of the political history of England from the Restoration to the American War of Independence. Arthur J. Slavin of the university of Louisville discusses and important problem in legal history in his "Craw v. Ramsey: New light on an Old Debate." Jacob M. Price of the University of Michigan takes another look at the Excise Crisis. Ragnhild M. Hatton of the London School of Economics sheds new light on George I. Daniel A. Baugh of Cornell University considers "pauperism, Protestantism, and Political Economy: English Attitudes toward the Poor 1660 - 1800." Anglo-Savoyard relations are the topic of Geoffrey Symocox of the University of California, Los Angeles. The late Arthur M. Wilson of Dartmouth is represented by a wise and charming paper entitled "The Enlightenment Came First to England." Lois G. Schwoerer of George Washington University finds new perspectives while examining the Glorious Revolution. John Brewer of Harvard explains "the Number 45: A Wilkite Political Symbol." Clayton Roberts of the Ohio State University discusses "Party and the Patronage in Later Stuart England," while Stephen Baxter of the University of North Carolina takes up some aspects of the conduct of the Seven Years War. All of the contributions were originally delivered at the Wiliam Andrews Clark Memorial Library during Stephen Baxter's tenure as Clark Library Professor in 1977 - 1978. Each of the essays will appeal to a learned audience of specialists, and the variety of topics will interest the general reader. This collection represents the leading scholarship on this remarkable period of English history. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1983.
