The noted English historian describes the growth of England as a great sea power, explaining how the English Navy ruled the waves and could spread the English race over the globe. This series of lectures has become a standard source on Hawkins, Drake and seamen of the Armada days. Froude's lectures, originally delivered in 1893-4, cover: The Sea Cradle of the Reformation; John Hawkins and the African Slave Trade; Sir John Hawkins and Philip the Second; Drake's Voyage Around the World; Parties in the State; The Great Expedition to the West Indies; Attack on Cadiz; Sailing of the Armada; and Defeat of the Armada. James Anthony Froude (1818-1894) was Late Regius Professor of Modern History in The University of Oxford. He was a renowned writer and historian, and a close friend and disciple of Thomas Carlyle. He was a controversial figure during his lifetime, and brought down upon himself the wrath of the high church; this did not stop the crowds from attending his lectures, as he was a compelling speaker. This was Froude's last book, published shortly after his death. As a writer of English prose he has few equals in the nineteenth century.
This book should appeal to all aficionados of the romance of the sea as well as to specialists in Spanish and Latin American colonial history.--Benjamin Keen, author of A History of Latin America
