This seventh volume of Naval Miscellany contains documents which range in date from the late thirteenth century to the Korean War. They illustrate the many different ways in which the naval forces of the crown have served the realm. Topics covered include the role of ships in campaigns against Scotland under Edward I and Edward VI, the protection of the Iceland fishery in the days of the Commonwealth government, and the operation of prize courts during the wars against France in the eighteenth century. Moving on to the nineteenth century, the supply of timber to the Royal Navy is examined, while two contributions deal with surveying off the west coast of Africa and another prints a diary kept by a member of the Naval Brigade operating onshore in the Zulu War. The most recent contributions deal with the origins and development of the Royal Australian Navy up to the 1950s. Two more controversial subjects are also included; the first gives more information about the storage of cordite on battle cruisers in 1916 and the battle of Jutland; the second documents the relief of Admiral North from Gibraltar in 1940. There is something here for every enthusiast for naval history and for all students of the relevant periods.

Excerpt from The Naval Miscellany, Vol. 2 I have to apologise to our members for the delay in the preparation of this volume, due mainly to my own shortcomings. I can hope that, now that it appears, it will win for me a ready forgiveness, bearing with it, as it does, the work of so many and such distinguished colleagues; to whom, as well as to the private owners of papers included in the volume, I venture, in the name of the Society, to offer my most hearty thanks. For myself, too, I would very sincerely thank the many kind friends who have assisted me in trying to solve some of the curious conundrums which have presented themselves - e.g.: 'les voiles embossees'; 'scipper thrum cappsons'; 'there's life in a musle yet' - phrases which, I am afraid, I have given some of them cause long to remember. It will be seen that in the first two articles, dating from the early sixteenth century, the custom of the Society has been departed from and the original spelling has been preserved. Where so many of the words and phrases are obsolete and their meaning uncertain, it would have been practically impossible to do otherwise: to attempt it, even, would have been incongruous.

This was the first of the Miscellany volumes and while it contains documents from the sixteenth century to the turn of the nineteenth century, the majority relate to the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Of the two sixteenth century documents, one relates to French warship signals and the other is a narrative of the Cadiz expedition. There is a translation of a Portuguese description of the Battle of Quiberon Bay and the journals of Captain Duncan between 1776 and 1782. The rest of the selection are correspondence of Viscount Hood, letters describing daily life in the navy, extracts relating to life in the East India Company's service, official correspondence on the capture of Heligoland in 1807 and 41 letters to and from Nelson.
