Excerpt from The Royal Navy, Vol. 3 of 5: A History From the Earliest Times to the Present
Surely there is some unconscious suppressio card in the assertion that, foiled in his attempt to catch the Spanish treasure-ship, Anson sailed westward from America with the Centurion, his sole remaining ship, and arrived at Spithead in June The story of what really happened, and of how the Manilla galleon was taken, will be found on p._ 823 of this volume.

Excerpt from The Royal Navy, Vol. 3 of 5: A History From the Earliest Times to the Present
Although, as I have said, the progress of the work continues to be somewhat delayed by my personal disabilities, I am not conscious that the book suffers in any other way in consequence of my ill health. Thanks to my numerous and indefatigable helpers and correspondents, I am not, in spite of my necessary absence from home, obliged to forego reference to any documents, state papers, or books which ought to be consulted. Happily, too, most of the materials for my part of the work were collected, and, to some extent, set in order, ere I became a prisoner here and although, of course, I still very often have to appeal for further particulars to the public libraries, the Record Office, private muniment rooms, and other storehouses of fact, there is, I find, remarkably little supple mentary research of this kind which cannot be carried out for me by my assistants. It is a longer process, and a costlier, but not, I hope, a less effective one.
