Excerpt from Naval Administrations, 1827 to 1892: The Experience of 65 Years This work, which my late husband has entrusted to me, is not of that character that is usually confided to ladies, and I could not have taken upon myself the responsibilities of editing a book which deals with such professional subjects as this one does had not the Author, to a certain extent, pre pared me for it; and, under all circumstances, it must have been beyond the capabilities of a woman had he not pos sessed a thorough grasp of the subject, which rendered it, comparatively speaking, a matter of easy accomplishment. In submitting this volume to the criticisms of the naval profession and general public, I do so in the hope that they will be to its faults a little blind and to its merits very kind. I would likewise request the readers to bear in remembrance the great object the Author had in undertaking the work, namely, the necessity of an adequate navy, thoroughly organised and prepared for war, to protect the best interests of this great Empire; and also the develop ment and general improvement of that grand profession.
