"A Short History of the Royal Navy, 1217-1815. Volume II, 1689-1815" by David Hannay is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the development and pivotal events of the Royal Navy from 1689 to 1815, amidst significant political and military changes. It outlines the Navy's transformations during key conflicts, particularly its engagements with France. The opening portion of the book presents a preface where the author expresses his gratitude to reviewers and acknowledges the challenges of condensing such extensive historical content into a manageable narrative. He introduces the significance of the events following the Revolution of 1688, discussing how this changed the dynamics between the Crown and Parliament, influencing naval command and operations. The text sets the stage for an exploration of the Royal Navy's evolution in structure, tactics, and experiences amidst the backdrop of major European conflicts, particularly against France, as it navigates the shifting political landscape of the time.
