The Burlish Navy and Early English Maritime Practice
In early English history the line between merchant ships and warships was blurred as ships swapped roles in peace and war. Elizabeth hired navy ships for piracy to slave trading and claimed profits or denied responsibility. Henry III pioneered a state fleet hired out in peacetime, with guarantees for return. The practice ended after the Spanish Armada, when fighting ships became distinct from traders.

Reforms and Human Nature in Political Power
The piece argues reformers rise when public revulsion against leaders shifts power via events not rhetoric. It notes imprisonment of leaders can spark such a backlash more than exposures. It warns reformers depend on ideas over personalities, and face long odds to sustain popularity as politics moves through human nature.
