Download or read book The Naval Annual 1912 Classic Reprint written by Thomas Allnutt Brassey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naval Annual, 1912 Part I. Of the present volume contains the usual reviews of the progress of Navies and comparative strength, which, for the reasons already given, involve far more work for the Editor than was the case a few years ago. Lord Brassey offers some suggestions on Naval Ad ministration. Commander Robinson contributes an interesting account of the Italian naval operations, and Mr. Leyland's paper on Naval War Staffs gives an excellent survey of what is required for the British Navy. Mr. Richardson discusses machinery problems in high - powered warships. Sir William White, by special request, writes on a subject of which he is a master. Commander Robinson's work has been carried through in spite of serious illness. Mr Barnaby remains responsible for the plates of ships. Part IV., in addition to the usual matter, contains the First Lord's speech of March 18th, already referred to, and some papers regarding the Dominion Navies. After twenty-one years' work, the Editor had serious thoughts of discontinuing the publication of the Naval Annual. The book was started by Lord Brassey, in the first instance for the benefit of Naval officers, and secondly to bring together reliable information in convenient form to awaken general interest in the Navy. With these objects in view it has been continued by the present Editor. The Admiralty now circulate to Naval officers far more information than they did some years ago. Other Annuals have come into existence. The Navy League Annual, from being a cheap publication which it was well for the Navy League to issue, has developed into a volume in the style of the Naval Annual, and to some extent competing with it. There might therefore seem to be less reason for carrying on the Naval Annual now than in days gone by. But after consultation with Naval officers and others whose opinion was of value the Editor came to the conclusion that the book was of real service to the Navy and the country, and that the time and trouble devoted to making the information given as reliable as possible were not thrown away.

Download or read book The Naval Annual 1906 Classic Reprint written by John Leyland and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naval Annual, 1906 Intimately related to efficiency in this direction is the general and Special eficiency Of British naval Officers. The new scheme of naval training is in full operation, though its results will not be seen for some years. Lord Brassey discusses generally the subjects treated in Lord Oawder's Memorandum, while both sides of the argument are made clear in the conflict of opinion which has arisen in regard to the engineering training of officers, Lieut. Carlyon Bellairs leading the attack upon the new scheme, while a very competent writer, whose personality is necessarily veiled under the pseudonym of Archimedes, makes a vigorous defence. The Naval Annual has consistently advocated a policy of constituting a numerically sufficient Naval Reserve through the Mercantile Marine instead of endeavouring to keep the Navy on what is practically a war footing, and Lord Brassey again strongly enforces this point. The naval mancsuvres of the year being intended to test upon a large scale the new scheme elaborated for the protection of trade, combined with the putting to sea of every fighting vessel intended to be used in war, ' Mr. Thursfield has written a valuable chapter on the subject of commerce protection, which shows the diminished danger to shipping in the conditions Of the modern sea-going trade. This chapter will probably be considered one of the most instructive in the volume. In view of last year having been the centenary of Trafalgar, it was thought well to signalise it in the Naval Annual by adding a chapter on the literature of the centenary, with an appreciation of the professional and personal qualities of N elson.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naval Miscellany, Vol. 2 I have to apologise to our members for the delay in the preparation of this volume, due mainly to my own shortcomings. I can hope that, now that it appears, it will win for me a ready forgiveness, bearing with it, as it does, the work of so many and such distinguished colleagues; to whom, as well as to the private owners of papers included in the volume, I venture, in the name of the Society, to offer my most hearty thanks. For myself, too, I would very sincerely thank the many kind friends who have assisted me in trying to solve some of the curious conundrums which have presented themselves - e.g.: 'les voiles embossees'; 'scipper thrum cappsons'; 'there's life in a musle yet' - phrases which, I am afraid, I have given some of them cause long to remember. It will be seen that in the first two articles, dating from the early sixteenth century, the custom of the Society has been departed from and the original spelling has been preserved. Where so many of the words and phrases are obsolete and their meaning uncertain, it would have been practically impossible to do otherwise: to attempt it, even, would have been incongruous.

This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States' Naval Chronicle, Vol. 1 The chronologist owes to the world a true and impartial account of the events he preposes to record. While the country of his birth may justly claim his inviolable fidelity and his undivided love, truth commands him to feel that he is a member of the great community of man, and that his record, to be useful, must be true. If, per chance, it should dis close errors ou the part of his government, or of his fellow citizens, it will afford the Opportunity of manifesting their wisdom, by a change of policy or measures. If, on the contrary, it should proclaim the wisdom of those who rule, or the prowess of those who meet in the field of bat tle, it will be viewed with complacency, if not with pride, and excite a spirit of emulation, fruitful in patriotism and heroic daring. We advert with a filial fondness to those pages of our own history, which denote the wisdom of our forefathers, the energy of their arms, and the invincibility of their virtues. The recollection of these cannot fail to inspire their descendants with a sentiment, as holy as it is true, that, as exertions and sacrifices gained our triumphant battle for the liberties of our country, so they still re main as the corner stone and arch to the perpetuation of national glory. In every age wisdom and valor have founded empires, and imbecility. And want of energy have marked their decline.
