THE

NAVIES OF THE WORLD.

HANS BUSK, M.A.,

OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE;

AUTHOR OF "THE RIFLE AND HOW TO USE IT,"
ETC. ETC.

"A miserable shame and dishonour it were for our shipwrights, if they
did not exceed all others in the setting up of our Royal ships, the errors
of other nations being far more excusable than ours; for the Kings of
England have for many years been at the charge to build and furnish a
Navy of powerful ships, for their own defence, and for war only."
SIR WALTER RALEIGH.
