anteros_lmcI came across this splendid publication which is being sold by maritime and naval book dealer McLaren Books. The catalogue describes it as being "a really interesting work on the late Victorian navy, explaining in fascinating detail the working of the navy, naval routine, and the life that a seamen led in the Royal Navy of the period." Because I have a puerile sense of humour I have been giggling helplessly at the fact that this is edition is also described as being a little grubby. I'm sorry, I'll get me coat....
