THE BRITISH NAVY.
BY A REAR-ADMIRAL.
Within the space of 100 pages, Rear-Admiral S. Eardley-Wilmot gives a succinct and dis- Passionate recount of the rise of the British Navy, under the title, "The British Navy l'ast and Present." The auther is not so much con- cerned with the great battles waged and won by the Navy as with the personnel, atinament, and character of the vessels which uphold Britain's claim to be Mistress of the Sea in all parts of the worid. Occasionally, we may harp upon the apparent apathy of the Navy when no immediate steps are taken to suppress piracies in the Far East, but there is always an inward belief that the Navy 10-day is as efficient and powerful to maintain our Empire as it proved in the days of Nelson. And nothing in Rear- Admiral Eardley Wilmar's book disproves that idea. To a great extent the British Navy form- ed itself. Men like Frobisher, Hawkins and Drake were led by visions of the wealth to be found in the Spanish Main to foranke the pro I would ask you to be good enough to pubic and dangerous life of the fisherman. lish these few remarks, coming from one who, has
