is well developed in this book. Amid so much to commend this reviewer might be permitted one grumble. The author’s predominating focus is on the great expeditions to mainland Europe. Apart from examination of the 1801 Egyptian expedition, the author’s analysis of long-distance and transoceanic expeditions is fairly brief – even on Egypt, there is little consideration of how the transports were obtained or their composition, and nothing on their condition and the need to repair them at Minorca and Malta on their way to their destination. More questions might have been asked about the nature of the transport contribution to Britain’s global military reach. Transports on distant stations were a valuable but fragile commodity which local commanders were reluctant to return to the Board. How were local transports obtained, on what terms, and how were they maintained at a distance from the main European repair facilities? Perhaps more might have been said by way of illustration on the expedition that captured Martinique in 1809 to add to his picture of that year as one of the best in the Transport Board’s history. The military commander of the Egyptian expedition, Sir Ralph Abercromby, remarked as he was about to set out that ‘there are risks in a British warfare unknown in any other service’ (see TNA, WO 1/345, Abercromby to Dundas, 15 January 1801). The risks were those of amphibious warfare, frequently overlooked by politicians of the day and by many military historians since. One of the most crucial factors in managing those risks and sustaining British offensive operations throughout the world was the ability of the Board of Transport to provide the ships without which no expedition could succeed. Robert Sutcliffe’s book should be compulsory reading for anyone wishing to understand the fundamental basis of British expeditionary warfare in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Great War with France.
在这本书中得到了很好的发展。在这么多值得赞扬的事情中，或许允许这个评论家有一点抱怨。作者的主要关注点是对欧洲大陆的伟大探险。除了对1801年埃及远征的考察外，作者对长途和跨洋远征的分析相当简短——即使是在埃及，也很少考虑运输工具是如何获得的或它们的组成，也没有考虑它们的状况以及在到达目的地的途中在米诺卡岛和马耳他修理它们的必要性。更多的问题可能会被问到运输对英国全球军事影响力的贡献。遥远站点的运输工具是一种宝贵但脆弱的商品，当地指挥官不愿将其归还给执行局。当地的运输是如何获得的，在什么条件下，他们是如何保持与欧洲主要维修设施的距离?也许还可以用1809年占领马提尼克岛的探险队的例子来说明更多的话，以增加他对那一年的描述，使之成为运输局历史上最好的一年之一。埃及远征队的军事指挥官拉尔夫·阿伯克龙比爵士(Sir Ralph Abercromby)在准备出发时表示，“英国的战争存在着其他任何军种都未曾经历过的风险”(见TNA, WO 1/345, Abercromby to Dundas, 1801年1月15日)。当时的政治家和此后的许多军事历史学家经常忽视了两栖战争的风险。管理这些风险和维持英国在世界各地的进攻行动的最关键因素之一是运输委员会提供船只的能力，没有这些船只，任何远征都无法成功。罗伯特·萨特克利夫的书应该是任何想要了解英国远征战争的基本基础的人的必读书目。

ABSTRACT This paper explores the representation of the submarine as an embryonic and influential factor in the First World War. In War Illustrated, reporting of German and British submarines assumed a high profile because of spectacular successes (such as U-9’s sinking of HMS Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue), and because of the perceived inactivity of the opposing battle fleets. The evolution of the magazine’s reporting of the submarine (from dismissal of its danger, to condemnation of its ‘piratical’ deployment, to celebration of its technological advancement) reflected the divisive characteristics of submarine warfare and the troubled reputation of the Royal Navy in the public imagination. The submarine’s emergence within twentieth-century warfare can be traced through the problematic popular responses to its unique capabilities and contribution to the naval campaign.

ABSTRACT Although historians have recently considered the important role that taverns and the consumption of alcohol played in the early modern world, less attention has been focused on more nefarious or dubious consumers such as pirates and privateers. Establishments such as taverns and tippling houses could provide pirates with necessary refreshment, lodging between ventures, and vital information on shipping activities in the Caribbean–Atlantic. But the patronage of these men–and sometimes women–also infused the local economy with specie, commodities, and sometimes even security against foreign incursions. By examining the legal record, archaeological remains, and the flow of cash and commodities in and out of various Caribbean–Atlantic islands, this article posits the importance of piracy and alcohol in the formation of informal commercial networks and the flow of knowledge throughout the early modern West Indies.

Piracy has long been a subject of intense popular interest. The stereotypical and often caricatured image of the pirate abounds across British society, whether in novels, in film or on the stage. This public obsession has frequently obscured scholarly efforts to understand better the lives and motivations of the numerous individuals who turned to criminality at sea. In recent years, however, researchers from a range of backgrounds have re-assessed and often overturned some of the long-standing myths that surround this ever-engaging subject. There is now, for example, a greater appreciation of the differences between corsairs, buccaneers and privateers and the many other seafarers that have been labelled as pirates. The ‘Golden Age of Piracy’ (itself a loaded and problematic term) has been situated in the longer history of maritime violence, from the ancient era through the present day. Similarly, piracy has been appreciated as a truly global activity, limited not just to the Caribbean, but also taking in the Mediterranean, the Baltic and the Indian Ocean (and, of course, Penzance). Pirates are now studied from the land as well as the sea, conforming to a broader trend within maritime history. Scholars now appreciate more fully the communities that produced and sustained piracy, while others have considered their remarkable cultural impact. As a result, our understanding of piracy has become more refined and more sophisticated. Indeed, research continues apace. This special issue of the Journal for Maritime Research presents four articles that shed new light on the subject of piracy, in all its guises. Each article is evidence of the great number of disciplines that now have a stake in these historical debates, including scholars of literature, law, warfare, politics, society and culture. We hope these fresh approaches to the study of piracy and the maritime world more generally will encourage further research into this fascinating topic.

a clergyman (63). Sir John Franklin, on his final voyage, impressed those who heard him ‘read the Church service’ (194). Such attachment to liturgy within the Navy may have laid the foundations for a chaplaincy that Blake concedes was increasingly Tractarian in the later nineteenth century. At the very least, it suggests that seafaring piety was frequently manifested in idioms that were not evangelical. Nevertheless, Blake’s study is to be commended for its range. Sections on obscurer topics such as the place of Roman Catholics in the Navy and of religion on polar expeditions are illuminating. He even finds a place for broad church Anglicanism, pointing out that the Duke of Somerset, First Lord of the Admiralty and the author of a work of liberal theology, did much to reinvigorate the naval chaplaincy in the 1860s (137). Blake also suggests that the religious implications of this era in the Navy’s history were evident well into the twentieth century, relating instances of spontaneous prayer at key moments in the Second World War (241–2). Yet one is left wondering, was ‘the predominance of evangelicalism’ (x) really at the root of this? Or was there a wider Protestant tradition within the nineteenth-century Navy, of which ‘the evangelical idiom’ was but one expression? More research is required to address this issue fully. For such a line of enquiry, Blake’s painstaking work will constitute an invaluable starting point.
牧师(63岁)。约翰·富兰克林爵士在他的最后一次航行中，给那些听到他“宣读教堂礼拜仪式”的人留下了深刻的印象(194)。海军对礼拜仪式的这种依恋可能为牧师制度奠定了基础，布莱克承认，在19世纪后期，牧师制度越来越倾向于Tractarian。至少，它表明航海的虔诚经常表现在非福音派的习语中。尽管如此，布莱克的研究仍因其涉及面广而值得称赞。书中有关罗马天主教徒在海军中的地位以及宗教在极地探险中的地位等晦涩话题的部分颇具启发性。他甚至为广教会的英国国教找到了一席之地。他指出，19世纪60年代，萨默塞特公爵(Duke of Somerset)，海军大臣，自由神学著作的作者，为重振海军牧师做出了巨大贡献(137)。布莱克还指出，这一时期在海军历史上的宗教影响一直持续到20世纪，在第二次世界大战的关键时刻有自发祈祷的例子(241-2)。然而，人们不禁要问，“福音主义的主导地位”(x)真的是这一切的根源吗?还是在19世纪海军中有更广泛的新教传统，福音派成语只是其中一种表达方式?需要更多的研究来充分解决这个问题。对于这样的研究路线，布莱克的辛勤工作将构成一个无价的起点。

ABSTRACT In many works on the late Barbary period, Stephen Decatur’s 1815 attack and Lord Exmouth's 1816 bombardment on Algiers are frequently seen as the end of the Barbary corsairs. This article challenges that idea by examining the 15-year period from Napoleon’s Hundred Days through French colonisation when Western powers repeatedly attacked the Barbary States. Despite the attention received by Decatur or Exmouth's attacks, neither eliminated the corsairs nor did any attack that followed. The end of the Napoleonic wars changed European power relations making the Barbary corsairs intolerable; Britain’s responsibility for and protection of small Italian states (the bulk of the corsairs prey) continued after the war. Britain’s new position as ‘protector’ of the Mediterranean and the Congress of Vienna’s denouncement of piracy eliminated European tolerance for the corsairs as demonstrated by the 10 different attacks on Barbary between 1815 and 1830. Post-war instability and repeated environmental crises across North Africa also weakened the Barbary States. Corsairs endured beyond Exmouth’s bombardment, and piracy lasted in North Africa beyond French invasion of Algiers. Changes in European power relations eliminated the corsair institution through the colonisation of Barbary, not isolated attacks on its ports.

However, we know very little about the machine or its future trajectory. In the rush to trace the origins of modern science to an eighteenth century industrial enlightenment and knowledge economy the shop floor and lived experience gets lost. We thus need to know a great deal more about Samuel’s interactions at the everyday practical level before we can truly understand how his approach was forged. Samuel was, primarily, a practical man with a deep interest in the materials used in the production of ships; this is further reflected in the particular manufactures he tried to develop while in Russia. Moreover we need to know much more about Samuel’s encounter and understanding of labour customs and legal regulations in both Russia and Britain to grasp the purpose of the managerial system he created (see, especially, Alessandro Stanziani, ‘The traveling panopticon: labor institutions and labor practices in Russia and Britain in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries’, Comparative Studies in Society and History 51, no. 4 (October 2009)).
