“This small book contains a wonderful amount of information concerning the history of the Royal Navy, from the days of King Alfred the Great to King George V., and is a book that would appeal to all lovers of naval history. It is essentially for the young, but much could be learned by adults from this interesting volume.”—_Naval Warrant Officers’ Journal._ “The book will be irresistible to boys who love sea stories, as many of our established heroes figure in its pages.”—_The Schoolmistress._ PUBLISHED BY A. & C.
