About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Sketches in Ultra-Marine, Vol. 1 of 2 England as it existed in the last age - in the days of Nelson and Collingwood - is depicted with admirable freshness and power in the vels of Marryatt, and the incomparable Tom Cringle's Log of the late Michael Scott. But the service of to-day has changed in many respects, from various causes, just as forms of life have changed everywhere. Different principles are used in selecting officers; regulations have been modified; but above all, a long peace has had the important consequence of making our naval men mingle more with their fellows on shore, and has brought them under the influence of all the excitements, intellectual and social, which, for good and evil, work upon England during our epoch. Change, by affording contrast and contradiction, is the very element of comedy, and whatever is interesting or amusing in these pages, will generally be found to be derived from a description of the peculiarities of a state of transition - a state of things where tradition is at war with the new, and out of which perplexities and extravagances arise. I am w speaking of this changed condition of the navy, as a subject of literary delineation (which is attempted here); but I am very far from presuming to speak of it as an object of censure.
