The issue of this edition gives me the opportunity of expressing my satisfaction with the effect former editions of the work have produced on professional public opinion. This is evidenced by the judicious, impartial, and searching criticism to which the book has been subjected by the Press of the United Kingdom. Inferen-tially, there is proof that most of the Reviewers were experts; men with a large knowledge of the many subjects dealt with-subjects intimately and directly connected with the welfare and efficiency of the British Navy. And this materially enhances the value of the very favourable reception the book has met with from both the Home and Foreign Press. But there is other evidence cf a still more gratifying character, that this work has had an influence on the Naval Service.
