Commander Robinson, whose able work, "The British Fleet," was reviewed in these
columns in November, 1894, has now undertaken the editing of a series of handbooks, each
of which will deal with one particular subject connected with that great creation, the Royal
Wavy. Our national literature has certainly lacked much in this respect. Such books as
nave heretofore been produced have almost invariably been of a character too scientific and
technical to be of much use to the general public. The series now being issued is intended to
obviate this defect, and when completed will form a description, both historical and actual, of the
Koyal .Navy, which will not only be of use to the professional student, but also be of interest
to all who are concerned in the maintenance and efficiency of the Na.vy.'—Broad Arrow.
The series of naval handbooks edited by Commander Robinson has made a most hopeful
peginnmg, and may be counted upon to supply the growing popular demand for information
in regard to the Navy, on which the national existence depends.'— Times.
Messrs. Be'l s series of "Royal Navy Handbooks" promises to be a very successful
en erpnse. They are practical and definitely informative, and, though meant for the use of
persons closely acquainted with their subjects, they are not so discouraginely technical as to
be useless to the lay seeker after knowledge.'— Bookman
