The Persistence of Empire: British Political Culture in the Age of the American Revolution by Eliga H. Gould, ISBN 0807825298
Examines the British public's predominantly loyal response to its government's handling of the American Revolution. Their support came from a burgeoning desire to be free of entangling alliances in Europe, a trans-Atlantic sense of national unity, and the "armchair" patriotism that was based on paying others to fight their battles for them.
Spars and Rigging from Nautical Routine, 1849
An accurate portrait of a ship's rigging and masts (or yardarms), this important study by a U.S. Navy midshipman describes every improvement made in seafaring equipment up to the mid-nineteenth century. Subjects cover everything from anchors, bobstays, booms, and cat-head stoppers, to flying jibs, halliards, nippers, and topsail buntlines. An ideal reference for ship model builders, this authentic guide will also appeal to naval historians and armchair sailors. 29 line drawings; 189 figures.
