Excerpt from Naval Courts MartialKing Charles II, as the loyal Dartmouth told Pepys, was good at seeing what ought to be done, and at giving directions, but was negligent in enforcing obedience. This order was no better observed than many others. When the collection of Court Martial papers begins in 1680, the earliest consist of statements of sentences passed, transmitted from the squadron stationed in the Straits - by which was then meant the whole western Mediterranean. The eastern was known in the language of seamen as the Arches, short for Archipelago, and the Levant. Arthur Herbert, the Lord Torrington of Beachy Head, was in command. The minutes of the evidence began to be given after James II had inherited the throne.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
