商品簡介
Lincoln (director, research and collections, National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London, UK) draws on diverse original sources, including letters, journals, contemporary news reports, and official documents to learn the views different groups had of the British Navy from 1750- 1815. Attitudes about the Navy of merchants, financiers, politicians, churchmen, women, doctors, and seamen are considered, providing a cross-section of the issues and opinions of a broad range of social groups in England for the period.
