5 PREFACE ONE object of this little Manual is to bring within the compass of a few brief chapters a general view of the nature, character and development of the British Navy. A larger purpose is to shew the influence of the Navy in safeguarding the independence and security of the country, and the part it has played in promoting the growth and upholding the integrity of the Empire. The influence of the sea pervades our history, and has been instrumental in the shaping of our national institutions and character. It is therefore preeminently worthy of study. By our maritime supremacy and our wardship of the seas the Empire has come into being, and without that wardship the Empire would have ceased to be. Notwithstanding all that has been written during recent years concerning the Navy, there is still a. want of understanding amongst the people at large of these matters of fundamental importance. When questions arise in relation to Imperial Defence, opinions are formed which are based on imperfect knowledge of the principles which underlie our maritime history. Even subjects which touch our
6 vi PREFACE island defence are handled with little reference to the lessons of the past, which are the surest guide to the policy of the future. We may read, in this history, of safety won by the exercise of wise foresight in maintaining the essentials for naval sufficiency, and of advantages lost and interests imperilled by the want of such foresight. An outstanding and characteristic feature of naval administration in the past has been its exhibition of a strange ebb and flow in the provision of the prime essentials for naval security, periods of development and efficiency having been succeeded by periods of decline and decay, in which sometimes Fortune has favoured us by blinding or weakening our adversaries, when our own preparations might not have availed. That we must not, through neglect, entrust our welfare to the favour of Fortune is a lesson which shines forth plainly from all our history. We learn, too, from naval history that we possess advantages, by virtue of our island position and the communications of the Empire being by sea, that are not possessed by nations which are parts of the continent, and a.re therefore influenced by the imperious demands of land power. We infer that there is something really different in our national character from that of continental nations, and that this difference, combined with the advantages of our geographical situation, has fitted us for success at
7 PREFACE vii sea in a manner which has been denied to other races. History warns us that we must guard ourselves from throwing away or diminishing the advantage which we enjoy in the fact that our security and our influence are based upon power of command at sea. The lessons of this book are not insistently put forward. Rather, it is left to the reader, with some indications, to deduce the meaning of history from its events and circumstances. The index will shew where questions relative to invasion, blockade and other conditions are illustrated. In the same way he may discover the evils that have arisen, and may arise, from naval and military misunderstandings, and from disputations within the service itself. The book shews how the Navy has on several occasions been the essential factor in the success of military operations, in circumstances hardly alluded to in our history books.. To bring before the reader these and other essential things is the object of the Manual, but, in suggesting the lessons of a philosophic study of naval history, the instrument whereby maritime influence has been exercised, and the incidents of its exercise, occupy a large part of the book. The Navy itself and its achievements are, indeed, in the foreground, with something of the picturesqueness of naval character, and, though the compass of the book is
8 viii PREFACE but small, few aspects of naval history have been altogether neglected. The ships of successive periods, the personnel and the conditions of naval life, the great personalities of naval history, administration, strategy, tactics, and the battles and events, with brief indications of salient features-all these have their place in the book. The author expresses his indebtedness to many volumes in the wide literature of naval and other history. He gives in a short bibliography some indication of the best books relating to successive periods and subjects. It is gratifying that in the series of manuals in which this book appears, is a volume by Mr J. R. Thursfield dealing in a masterly manner with some special branches of naval strategy. Finally the author desires to place on record his especial obligations, for counsel and assistance in relation to this book, to his old friend and colleague Commander C. N. Robinson, R.N. JOHN LEYLAND. St Georges Day, 1914.
