The Royal Navy. By a Lieutenant, R.N. (Swan Sonnenschein and
Co.)—This little book gives a sketch of the Royal Navy, as it was and as it is. It is illustrated throughout, and the reader can gain from it a clear idea of what the Navy really is.—Together with this may be mentioned a pamphlet on the same subject by a well-known expert in these matters,—The British Navy, Past and Present, by Captain G. Eardley-Wilmot (E. Stanford).
