This book was released on 2002-08-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The noted English historian describes the growth of England as a great sea power, explaining how the English Navy ruled the waves and could spread the English race over the globe. This series of lectures has become a standard source on Hawkins, Drake and seamen of the Armada days. Froude's lectures, originally delivered in 1893-4, cover: The Sea Cradle of the Reformation; John Hawkins and the African Slave Trade; Sir John Hawkins and Philip the Second; Drake's Voyage Around the World; Parties in the State; The Great Expedition to the West Indies; Attack on Cadiz; Sailing of the Armada; and Defeat of the Armada. James Anthony Froude (1818-1894) was Late Regius Professor of Modern History in The University of Oxford. He was a renowned writer and historian, and a close friend and disciple of Thomas Carlyle. He was a controversial figure during his lifetime, and brought down upon himself the wrath of the high church; this did not stop the crowds from attending his lectures, as he was a compelling speaker. This was Froude's last book, published shortly after his death. As a writer of English prose he has few equals in the nineteenth century.

Download or read book The Evil Necessity written by Denver Brunsman and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fundamental component of Britain’s early success, naval impressment not only kept the Royal Navy afloat—it helped to make an empire. In total numbers, impressed seamen were second only to enslaved Africans as the largest group of forced laborers in the eighteenth century. In The Evil Necessity, Denver Brunsman describes in vivid detail the experience of impressment for Atlantic seafarers and their families. Brunsman reveals how forced service robbed approximately 250,000 mariners of their livelihoods, and, not infrequently, their lives, while also devastating Atlantic seaport communities and the loved ones who were left behind. Press gangs, consisting of a navy officer backed by sailors and occasionally local toughs, often used violence or the threat of violence to supply the skilled manpower necessary to establish and maintain British naval supremacy. Moreover, impressments helped to unite Britain and its Atlantic coastal territories in a common system of maritime defense unmatched by any other European empire. Drawing on ships’ logs, merchants’ papers, personal letters and diaries, as well as engravings, political texts, and sea ballads, Brunsman shows how ultimately the controversy over impressment contributed to the American Revolution and served as a leading cause of the War of 1812.
