Naval and Military
DAVID HANNAY
A SHORT HISTORY OF THE ROYAL NAVY, From Early Times to the Present Day. By David Hannay. Illustrated. _2 Vols. Demy 8vo. 15s._
This book aims at giving an account not only of the fighting we have
done at sea, but of the growth of the service, of the part the Navy
has played in the development of the Empire, and of its inner life.
The author has endeavoured to avoid the mistake of sacrificing the
earlier periods of naval history—the very interesting wars with
Holland in the seventeenth century, for instance, or the American War
of 1779-1783—to the later struggle with Revolutionary and Imperial
France.
COL. COOPER KING
THE STORY OF THE BRITISH ARMY. By Lieut.-Colonel Cooper King, of the Staff College, Camberley. Illustrated. _Demy 8vo. 7s. 6d._
This volume aims at describing the nature of the different armies that
have been formed in Great Britain, and how from the early and feudal
levies the present standing army came to be. The changes in tactics,
uniform, and armament are briefly touched upon, and the campaigns in
which the army has shared have been so far followed as to explain the
part played by British regiments in them.
