Excerpt from The Flower of England's Garland The other essays in this volume deal with the provision of medical treatment for our sick and wounded seamen the clothing of the sailor, and the origin of a naval uniform for officers. Finally, there is a biographical study of Woodes Rogers, whose privateering voyage round the world ranks almost with that of Anson; and one on the fight for the liberty of the press during the period when Milton was writing his famous Areopagitica.' The first two of these studies originally appeared in the United Service Magazine (now the Army Quarterly Journalism in the Days of the Common wealth in the Edinburgh Review and the other three in the Mariner's Mirror.' They have been revised and added to where necessary. For permission to republish them I am indebted to the various editors. I also beg to acknowledge the courtesy of Messrs. Cassell and Company in allowing me to publish the study of Woodes Rogers, originally prefixed to their edition of A Cruising Voyage Round the World.'
