To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The London Water Com- panies are greatly assisted by the Greenwich rainfall observations, but they pay nothing for them, neither do they supply the Admiralty with water gratuitously. It is fitting that the British Empire should possess a National Observatory, but it is not equitable that Naval funds should bear the whole expense. When criticism is directed against the magnitude of the Navy Estimates, it rarely happens that the critic takes the trouble to ascertain of what Items the Votes are ma...de up; on the other hand, money voted for the Royal Ob- servatories is passed by the House without much question, because it happens to form part of Estimates which are of such great magnitude. The present procedure tends therefore to obscure the actual sum total of the Navy Estimates, and at the same time it prevents the application to the Royal Observa j tories of the same Parliamentary criticism which is applied to the Civil Service Estimates. CHAPTER IX NAVAL PROBLEMS [THE three privately printed volumes entitled "Naval Necessi- ties, " 1904, 1905, and 1906, contain papers written or collected by Sir John Fisher, as Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth and as First Sea Lord of the Admiralty, bearing upon the Naval Reforms which he then introduced or contemplated.
