State Papers Relating to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada, Anno 1588, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) by John Knox Laughton Pdf

Excerpt from State Papers Relating to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada, Anno 1588, Vol. 1 English - not the French - armies should consist of trained soldiers; that the French armies - not the English - should consist of raw levies of half-armed peasants. The device thus adopted was continued by Edward's successors, and was still in use under Elizabeth, telling to those who could understand it that the might and majesty of England rested on her navy. That this was fully proved in the summer of I 588 is a familiar story, but the following pages Show that few indeed of her statesmen, or warriors, or seamen, had realised the fact. They could believe that the fleet of England was capable of withstanding that of Spain that the armada, of itself, was not a thing to be feared but they never quite succeeded in getting rid of the notion that the Duke of Parma's army was still terrible. Wynter, indeed, with nigh fifty years' experience at sea, and memories of former expeditions to guide him, was sure that the enemy must find very great difficulty in the transport of the army, and that if the squadron in the Narrow Seas was kept up at its actual strength, the Prince's forces, being no other than that which he bath in Flanders at this time (20th of June), dare not come to the seas' p. Wynter's opinion is eminently practical. It was supposed that Parma might attempt a landing at Sheppey, Harwich or Yarmouth, places where a small charge will make a sufficient strength to withstand any sudden attempt; but in these princely actions a man cannot be too provident and no wisdom were it to put things to an even balance, when more weight may be added' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

State Papers Relating to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada by John Knox Laughton, Sir Pdf

On 19 May 1588 the Spanish Armada set sail from Lisbon. 130 ships and carried 2,500 guns and 30,000 men. The fleet was not sighted off the Lizard until 29 July 1588 as the Armada was forced by poor weather and a lack of supplies into Corunna. This book, the very first published by the Navy Records Society, in 1894, covers the period from December 1587 to July 1588. It is in many ways a historical document in its own right, as our understanding of the Armada has changed dramatically since 1894 when JK Laughton wrote the introduction. Nonetheless, the papers that are published here are essential reading for anyone interested in the build up to the Armada campaign. They are drawn from the State Papers - they are letters and memoranda written by or to the officers of the fleet and the high officers of State. A large proportion of the letters are written by Howard or Seymour to Lord Burghley, the Lord High Treasurer, or to Sir Francis Walsyngham, the Principal Secretary of State. Many, too, are written by Drake and by Hawkyns; others by men not so well known, but all of unquestionable authenticity.
