ENGLAND IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.

2 Vols. 8vo. 24s. net.

This is an account of the rise of England as a Mediterranean Power from the Peace with Spain in 1604 to the Peace of Utrecht in 1712, showing how the revolution in naval warfare under Elizabeth enabled England to take a new place in European politics by action within the Straits, and dealing incidentally with the progress of naval strategy and organisation which led, through the tentative expeditions of James I. and Cromwell and the abortive occupation of Tangier, to the developed policy of William III. and Marlborough, and our final establishment at Gibraltar and Minorca.
