Meanwhile the following revised and condensed Life of the Father of the Royal Navy is presented to the reader — the same essentially as before, but shorn of such matters as lay beyond the immediate scope of the work. The author takes this opportunity to acknowledge with gratitude the favour with which the Life of Lord Hawke has been received by naval officers generally, and especially to thank Admiral Sir Richard Vesey Hamilton, for the assistance he has kindly given in preparing the new edition. It is an honour that the book should be connected with the name of so distinguished an officer.
