This volume presents a selection of documents dealing with the administration of the Navy in the years 1702 to 1714. It can be seen as a sequel to The Sergison Papers (NRS volume 89) which drew on similar material about the administration of the Navy in the years 1689 to 1702.
Much of the material had been drawn from correspondence between the Admiralty and Navy Boards, and between both of these and the Navy Board’s subsidiaries, the Victualling and the Sick and Wounded Boards. It also includes letters to and from the dockyards, flag officers and captains, as well as other individuals.
For ease of reference, and following the plan adopted in The Sergison Papers, the documents are arranged in ten separate parts, each with its own introduction. These deal with Ships and Shipbuilding; Dockyards and Refitting; Naval Stores; Manning; Seamen and Marines; Sick and Wounded and Prisoners of War; Victualling and Purserage; Officers; Convoys; and the Admiralty and Navy Boards.
The source of each document is listed and further information is given in an extensive series of appendices.

INDEX The titles of peers and the ranks of officers who belong to the period of the volume are those held at the latest date of mention during the period. M. & C. stands for master and commander. Entries in brackets following a person’s name show the place he held or the ship in which he served. The names of H.M. ships are followed by their rate and number of guns or description in brackets. Those whose gunning was altered are shown thus: Monmouth (III.70-66). Different ships of the same name appear in order of age. Ships in Appendix VI are indexed for that appendix only if mentioned elsewhere in the volume. ACKWORTH, JACOB (Surveyor of the Navy), 7, 106, 365n., 374 ADAMS, DR.
