A Letter Addressed to Sir John Barrow, on the System of War and Peace Complements in Her Majesty’s Ships (1839)

""A Letter Addressed To Sir John Barrow, On The System Of War And Peace Complements In Her Majesty???????s Ships"" is a historical book written by Maurice Frederick F. Berkeley in 1839. The book is a letter addressed to Sir John Barrow, a British statesman and geographer, and it discusses the system of war and peace complements in Her Majesty's ships. Berkeley argues that the current system of war and peace complements, which determines the number of crew members required for a ship during times of war and peace, is flawed and needs to be reformed. He suggests that the system should be based on the size and tonnage of the ship, rather than the number of guns it carries. The book also touches on the importance of maintaining a strong navy, and the role of the Navy in protecting Britain's interests around the world. Berkeley highlights the need for a well-trained and disciplined crew, and the importance of providing them with adequate provisions and living conditions. Overall, ""A Letter Addressed To Sir John Barrow, On The System Of War And Peace Complements In Her Majesty???????s Ships"" provides an insightful look into the British Navy during the 19th century, and the challenges faced by sailors and commanders alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
