Description
Excerpt from The Life of Edward Mountagu, K. G, Vol. 1 of 2: First Earl of Sandwich, (1625 1672)
For the recommendation to Lord Sandwich I have to thank the Regius Professor of History, Mr. C. H. Firth. He must be tired of appearing in prefaces to seventeenth-century works; he has hurled many a bottle at the side of ships, before they slid down the ways; for this vessel he has made no ceremonial launch, but rather kept an eye upon her building. He has read the greater part of the book, and it owes much to his careful guidance.
