| Summary | "A Middy's Recollections, 1853-1860" by Victor Alexander Montagu is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the author's experiences as a young naval cadet during a significant and tumultuous period in British naval history, including the Crimean War. It primarily focuses on Montagu's personal journey, detailing his entry into the Royal Navy and his observations of naval life, naval battles, and his interactions with fellow sailors and officers. The opening portion of the memoir begins with Montagu reflecting on his upbringing and the circumstances that led him to join the Royal Navy at a young age. He recounts the mixed emotions surrounding his departure from home, particularly the love and concerns of his mother. After joining the naval school, he shares anecdotes about his preparations to become a cadet, describing the rough conditions of his schooling and his initial experiences aboard the HMS "Princess Royal." His narrative captures both the excitement and the difficulties of naval life, laying the groundwork for further adventures and insights as he embarks on his career in the Royal Navy.
