COLLECTION OF EIGHT GENERAL ACTS OF THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT RELATING TO THE ROYAL NAVY 1734 - 1762.

1734réf. 49723London. 1734-1762. Regulations for the English Navy A nice collection of British Acts of Parliament relating to the Royal Navy or related seagoing activities. The dominance of the British Royal Navy was unquestioned from the late 1600s until well into the 20th century. These mid 18th-century acts were printed at a time when the British Navy was swiftly ascending to the peak of its power through superior financing tactics training organization population support hygiene dockyard facilities logistical support and warship design and construction. By the early 19th century the British Navy saw little action mainly due to the lack of a worthy adversary.
