Description
Sir Thomas Brassey (1836–1918), later Earl Brassey, was a politician with a particular interest in maritime affairs.
He was a keen sailor, and his wife's accounts of their many voyages (also reissued in this series) were bestsellers.
He subsequently became a Lord of the Admiralty and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, and Brassey's Naval Annual was for many years the authoritative survey of worldwide navies.
This five-volume survey of the state of the British Navy was published between 1882 and 1883.
Brassey was much involved with questions of the modernisation and reform of the Navy, at a time when international relations were marked by a maritime arms race.
The books provide much technical detail about the different types of ship and weapons available to the Navy.
Volume 4 discusses the administration of the Navy and Admiralty, and of reserve forces.
