Classics Of Naval Literature. Blue Cloth With Title In Gold On Frontt Cover And Spine. Blue Ribbon Sewn In. 485 Pages Including Appendices, Bibliography And Intensive Index. The Only Mar Is The Previous Owners' Name And Date On Top Of Half-Title Page.

In A Delightfully Absorbing Prose Rare For Such Studies, Robert Albion Relates These Pivotal Issues Throughout The Two-Hundred-Year Period That Saw Most Of The Greatest Naval Wars Of The Age Of Sail, From The First Dutch War Of 1652 To The Introduction Of The Ironclad Early In The American Civil War. The Author Explores How The Timber Supply Problem Affected Other European Maritime Powers And Their Far-Flung Colonies, Explains How It Was Driven By The Conservatism And Corruption Of Official Bureaus And Rapacious Landowners Conducting The Business, And Offers A Fascinating Portrait Of The Contemporary Logging And Timber Transport Industries.
