THE NAvIEs or THE WORLD: their Present State
and their Future Capabilities. BY Hans Busk.
Routledge Go.
The alarm created IN England by the extensive naval
preparations of France which, although probably not un-

or Of any other Power the results brought TO light by the
researches Of Mr. Busk have proved "a heavy blow and
encouragement" Through the warnings Of tho late
Duke Of Wellington, Sir Baldwin Walker, Sir Howard
Douglas, and Major General Burgoyne, they have

Of the suspicious wachuncss Of the French naval autho

plcitly voucbed for, they were easily accessible.
Taking the comparative view Of the naval resources
Of the two great Powers presented by this book,

and paved the way for the great changes which the intro
