1988. Reprint. [ix], 411pp., frontispiece and 3 other black and white illustrations. Michael Morris Oppenheim (1853-1927) was the pioneer historian of English naval administration. In 1874, he entered University College Hospital Medical School, and completed his examination as a member of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1879. After going to sea as a ship's surgeon, he inherited some money and left the medical profession and became a self-supporting independent historical researcher. He writes in his Preface that "the Introduction and the portion dealing with the period 1509-1558 are entirely new. The remainder originally appeared in the 'English Historical Review', but the Elizabethan section has been rewritten and much enlarged in the light of fresh material found since it was first printed, and many additions and alterations have been made to other papers. Of the four Appendices three are new." The work was originally published in 1896, and the present edition includes a new additional introduction by K.R. Andrews. The book is bound in the original blue boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with some shelf wear and light soiling to the boards and the spine is slightly faded with light bumping to the top of the spine. The contents are tight and clean with no inscription.…
