Of all the world's seaborne military organizations; the British Royal Navy is perhaps the most prestigious. Protector of the British Empire and defender of British freedom; it has provided the template on which nearly all other national navies have modelled themselves. This book explores the changes in the uniforms of the Royal Navy from the 18th Century to 1970. It includes details from the dress regulations as laid down in the first official illustrated text on the topic; which dated from 1825; up through the present day; and addresses all variations for climate; rank; and equipment requirements.

Boyd is one of my favorite authorities on the Declaration of IndependenceBy Thomas TurnerBoyd is one of my favorite authorities on the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson went through so many iterations during the composition of the Declaration; that keeping track of its progress; and who participated in that process; is very confusing. Boyd did a fine job of sorting it all out.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. love Thomas JeffersonBy Marilyn PhanThis was a gift to myself; love Thomas Jefferson.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
