A HISTORY OF THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE ROYAL NAVY AND OF MERCHANT SHIPPING IN RELATION TO THE NAVY
From 1509 to 1660
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.”
THE SPANISH CONQUEST IN AMERICA
BY SIR ARTHUR HELPS
Edited, with an Introduction, Maps, and Notes, by
M. OPPENHEIM
_In Four Volumes. Crown 8vo. =3s. 6d.= net each_
=Athenæum.=—“A handsome reprint.... Mr. Oppenheim has provided a sensible and suggestive introduction and additional notes of a useful type. We are glad to see he does not join in the wholesale condemnation of Spanish rule in America that is common among ill-informed writers.”
=Literature.=—“A book, apart from its literary value, of great interest in the history of the dealings of conquering civilised nations with aborigines.”
=Spectator.=—“A very welcome new edition. The book has a singular charm of its own. It catches that romance, that strange mixture of brightness and melancholy, which belongs to all early American history.... Sir Arthur Helps’s literary enthusiasm and his charming touch were made to deal with such a subject.... The introduction is very interesting, and the maps, a new feature of this edition, are quite invaluable to a student of early American history.”
=Saturday Review.=—“The publisher is wisely bringing out a new edition of a standard work. Mr. Oppenheim has written a judicious introduction.”
=Literary World.=—“The editor of the volume before us—we await with pleasure the three that are to follow—has written an illuminative introduction, but that is the least of his contributions. Many notes, additional or corrective, greatly add to the value of this edition, and, a most important concession to practical usefulness, Helps’s notes, when consisting of quotations in foreign tongues, have been translated.”
=Literary World= (_re_ Vol. II.).—“In all that goes to make a book pleasant to eye and hand it leaves nothing to be desired.... Our renewal of long-time acquaintance warrants a hearty recommendation of this best edition of the ‘Spanish Conquest.’ In it intrinsic worth and literary excellence are supplemented by the capable work and business enterprise of editor and publisher.”
JANE AUSTEN’S SAILOR BROTHERS
By J. H. and F. C. HUBBACK
Being the Life and Adventures of Sir Francis Austen, G.C.B., Admiral of the Fleet, and Rear-Admiral Charles Austen.
_With numerous Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 12s. 6d. net._
PRESS OPINIONS.
=Daily Telegraph.=—“This pleasant book ... an unpretentious but really interesting volume; a volume which, although its chief attractions are literary, has also distinct value for its glimpses of life abroad during the early years of the nineteenth century ... a capital series of portraits and facsimiles.”
=Daily Chronicle.=—“It is a pleasant picture this book gives of English life a hundred years ago ... clear-cut little pictures of what it meant to serve the king at sea in the days when Napoleon was pictured in the imagination of all British subjects as waiting to spring like a tiger across the ‘ruffled strip of salt.’”
=Morning Post.=—“Contains many letters from Jane Austen and the sailors, a number of interesting portraits, so that this volume may be welcomed as an important addition to Austeniana; but it is besides valuable for its glimpses of life in the Navy, its illustrations of the feelings and sentiments of naval officers during the period that preceded and that which followed the great battle of just one century ago.”
=Westminster Gazette.=—“The worshipping company of dear Jane’s friends will, without a doubt, hail this volume with unmixed delight.”
=Pall Mall Gazette.=—“In this timely issued book we get a tolerably clear idea of the home life of the Austens, and of life in the Navy in the opening years of the nineteenth century.”
=Daily News.=—“A very interesting book ... much interesting historical matter. The illustrations from portraits and original drawings are excellent.... It deserves to be read for the fascinating glimpses it gives of life at sea under our great admirals in eighteen hundred, and war time.”
