Reader's note

In attempting a connected story of that great Service which has been through the centuries the first, and often the last, line of British defence, and the spearhead of British expansion when the time came, Professor Lewis has tried to put the Royal Navy into its true perspective in history in general and sea-history in particular. He shows its origin in the Crown’s personal sea-force, still blended with, and largely reliant upon, the Country’s total sea force, and relates how it emerged as the principal fighting element in her sea-strength: principal, but not only, fighting element, because the natural reserves of the Royal navy are, and always have been, an integral part of the whole Navy.
