The editors are of course old hands at this sort of thing. Michael Duffy, who as editor of the Mariners Mirror became friend and confidant to so many naval and maritime historians, was the editor of the proceedings from another ground breaking conference. * Parameters of British Naval Power, 1650-1850 *\u003cbr\u003eRoger Morriss, one of those productive naval and military historians - a veritable North Atlantic triangle of scholarship - from Ian R. Christie's graduate seminar in the 1960s at King's College, London, is one of the foremost authorities on the Royal Navy during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. Both these fine historians teach at that relatively new and highly successful centre of naval history, Exeter University, in Devon, England ... This is a thoroughly good read. * The Northern Mariner *\u003cbr\u003eThose who... value a contextual placing of naval history within British and French culture will be stimulated by the authorial range and newly transcribed primary sources in this book. The quality of scholarship and design justify its relatively high price. * The Age of Sail Vol.1 2002-3 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Introduction: The Battle of the Glorious First of June 1794 MICHAEL DUFFY AND ROGER MORRISS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 The Prairial Battles: The French Viewpoint ANDRE DELAPORTE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 The Glorious First of June: The British Strategic Perspective CHRISTOPHER WARE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocument;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.i.
