By M. OPPENHEIM
With an Introduction treating of the earlier period
With Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 15s. net
Times.—“Full of historic detail of great interest and novelty derived from a variety of documentary sources hitherto unexplored.”
Athenæum.—“The first thing that will strike the reader of the ‘History’ is the extreme amount of original research which is embodied in it.”
Daily News.—“This admirable first volume of an exhaustive work.... The subject has never been dealt with adequately by any previous historian.... All students of English naval history will look forward with eagerness to Mr. Oppenheim’s subsequent volumes.”
Pall Mall Gazette.—“This is a wholly admirable book. It is based upon patient and careful work done in this much-neglected subject for the first time. The mass of information he has gathered and digested is simply appalling.... Though the subject sounds an astonishingly dry one, Mr. Oppenheim has managed to make it interesting.... He is impartial and exhaustive, and in his investigations sheds very considerable sidelight upon various debatable points in English history.”
Army and Navy Gazette.—“One of the most important contributions to naval history lately issued from the press.... Hitherto naval histories have avowedly been devoted to executive operations, and never before have we had a history concerned with that organisation which renders executive operations possible.... Mr. Oppenheim’s knowledge of his special subject is unrivalled, and he is admirable in the careful and exhaustive manner in which he deals with the details of it. These are marshalled with consummate skill. We shall look with interest for the appearance of his next volume.”
