[EAN: 9780754650638], Near Fine, [PU: Ashgate Publishing Ltd for the Navy Records Society, Aldershot, Hampshire, England], This 'Near Fine' hardback (which is Volume I) was published by Ashgate for the Navy Records Society (NRS) in 2004. The book is close to being in 'Fine'. The book has the usual dark blue covers with gold design, and as per almost all other NRS volumes was published without a dust-jacket or slip case. The condition of the 696 numbered pages is attractive although there are some minor streaks on the outside gathered page ends. The size of the book in inches is 9.1 x 6.1 and it weighs 1.40 kg. The author introduces his book by noting that not once during 60 years of naval service did Admiral of the Fleet Sir Alexander Milne hear our naval guns fired in anger, yet, on the basis of talents and abilities ideally suited to the century of the Pax Britannica, he numbers among the greatest officers of the post-Napoleonic Royal Navy. Milne was the pre-eminent naval administrator in the Victorian period, perhaps of the years 1815-1900. As with all our sales of books within the UK, we only ever charge a flat standard delivery cost of £3.35. Overseas buyers will be asked to agree to pay extra additional delivery costs as the book weighs well over 1 kg., Books<
