Item description from seller

This copy is in mint, unmarked condition bound in blue cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine and a bright gilt colophon of the Navy Records Society to the upper board. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. A dustwrapper is not called for.

Where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased charges will be quoted. This seventh volume of Naval Miscellany contains documents which range in date from the late thirteenth century to the Korean War. They illustrate the many different ways in which the naval forces of the crown have served the realm. Topics covered include the role of ships in campaigns against Scotland under Edward I and Edward VI, the protection of the Iceland fishery in the days of the Commonwealth government, and the operation of prize courts during the wars against France in the eighteenth century. Moving on to the nineteenth century, the supply of timber to the Royal Navy is examined, while two contributions deal with surveying off the west coast of Africa and another prints a diary kept by a member of the Naval Brigade operating onshore in the Zulu War. The most recent contributions deal with the origins and development of the Royal Australian Navy up to the 1950s. Two more controversial subjects are also included; the first gives more information about the storage of cordite on battle cruisers in 1916 and the battle of Jutland; the second documents the relief of Admiral North from Gibraltar in 1940. There is something here for every enthusiast for naval history and for all students of the relevant periods. This copy is from the library of Admiral Sir Brian Thomas Brown KCB CBE (born 31 August 1934) is a senior Royal Navy officer from 1852 to 1991 who went on to be Second Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Personnel. This is just one of a large number of Navy records Society publications I am selling on this site. Ref III4. …
