PRESS OPINIONS.

‘Commander Robinson, whose able work, “The British Fleet,” was reviewed in these columns in November, 1894, has now undertaken the editing of a series of handbooks, each of which will deal with one particular subject connected with that great creation, the Royal Navy. Our national literature has certainly lacked much in this respect. Such books as have heretofore been produced have almost invariably been of a character too scientific and technical to be of much use to the general public. The series now being issued is intended to obviate this defect, and when completed will form a description, both historical and actual, of the Royal Navy, which will not only be of use to the professional student, but also be of interest to all who are concerned in the maintenance and efficiency of the Navy.’—Broad Arrow.

‘The series of naval handbooks edited by Commander Robinson has made a most hopeful beginning, and may be counted upon to supply the growing popular demand for information in regard to the Navy, on which the national existence depends.’—Times.

‘Messrs. Bell’s series of “Royal Navy Handbooks” promises to be a very successful enterprise. They are practical and definitely informative, and, though meant for the use of persons closely acquainted with their subjects, they are not so discouragingly technical as to be useless to the lay seeker after knowledge.’—Bookman.

‘The volumes are handy in size, moderate in price, well illustrated, and written in a scholarly spirit.

George Bell & Sons.’—St. James’s Gazette.
