Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the implications of a proposed 18th century amendment to a bill governing the British Royal Navy. The amendment would have granted the Admiralty expanded authority to compel retired naval officers to active service, raising concerns among those officers about its impact on their liberty and honor. The author analyzes the Amendmentâs potential effects, arguing that it would have extended the Admiralty's influence beyond reasonable limits, encompassing not only proper and necessary service but also potentially improper or disadvantageous assignments. By examining the broader context of naval discipline and the role of retired officers in the Royal Navy, the author sheds light on the delicate balance between maintaining order and respecting individual rights within the military. Ultimately, the book highlights the importance of preserving liberty and autonomy within the armed forces, ensuring that service members remain motivated by a sense of duty and honor rather than fear of reprisal. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
