Sir Julian Corbett (1854-1922) was an eminent British naval
historian who focused on the analysis of historic naval strategy.
After graduating from Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1876 Corbett
practised as a barrister until 1882, when he turned to historical
writing. He was appointed Lecturer in History to the Royal Naval
College, Greenwich, in 1903, and was consulted on naval reforms
during the First World War. These volumes, first published in 1907,
contain Corbett's detailed analysis of naval warfare during the
Seven Years' War (1756-1763). Focusing on the strategy of the
British navy, Corbett recounts chronologically the major actions of
the war, analysing in detail fleet movements and naval tactics in
their political and diplomatic context. These volumes were the
first scholarly work on this subject, and provide valuable
information concerning the development of English naval strategy
during this formative period. Volume 1 covers 1754-1759.
