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.”
