Excerpt from The United States Naval Academy: Being the Yarn of the American Midshipman That this task might better have been done by one wearing the uniform of the United States than by one who dofi'ed it more years ago than he cares to remember, it is needless to say. Nevertheless, study of his subject throughout' this long interval, actuated by an abiding affection for all that pertains to the Navy, and a deep sense of obligation to his Alma Mater, may, perhaps, be pleaded by the author as some qualification for his present attempt.

Park Benjamin was born on May 11, 1849, in New York City, the son of Park Benjamin and Mary (Western) Benjamin, and brother of George Hillard Benjamin.
Benjamin was graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1867, and in the same year brought out his first book, Shakings: Etchings from the Naval Academy. After several cruises with Admiral Farragut he resigned from the Navy to take up the study of law. He was admitted to the bar in 1870 after a year's study at the Albany Law School.
Benjamin worked as a patent solicitor. Due to an unusual knowledge of both technical and legal matters, and to a large store of information on scientific subjects, he was most valuable as an expert witness or technical adviser on matters relating to patents. For many years he served a large and wealthy clientele in this capacity and his testimony as an expert witness is written into many cases involving patent rights and patent infringements. His legal work was done in New York City, but he possessed a summer home in Stamford, Connecticut.
Benjamin was associate editor of the Scientific American, 1872-78, and took charge of the production of Appleton's Cyclopædia of Applied Mechanics, 1881-92, as its editor-in-chief. Many articles from his pen on technical or scientific subjects appeared in the Scientific American and other technical publications. During his connection with the Scientific American he published his Wrinkles and Recipes (1873), compiled from the magazine. This was probably the best seller of all his books. Other works written by him include The Age of Electricity (1886); a history of electricity called The Intellectual Rise in Electricity (1895); The United States Naval Academy (1900); and The Voltaic Cell (1893).
Until the very time of his death, Benjamin was also a frequent contributor to nontechnical periodicals, particularly the Independent. Scores of articles from his pen, for the most part on subjects pertaining to our own or foreign navies and naval affairs, appeared in this magazine. He believed that the American navy was inadequate and in 1881 launched out into the realm of highly imaginative fiction to help get this idea into public consciousness. His short story, "The End of New York, " picturing vividly the destruction of that city as a result of inadequate naval defenses, made a great impression at the time of its publication and is included in Volume V of Stories by American Authors published by Scribners in 1884. During the World War the Independent still held its columns open to Benjamin's discussions of naval policies. In conjunction with R. M. Thompson and E. J. Berwind, he collected a valuable library of books, particularly on scientific subjects, which he presented to the library of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. Benjamin died in 1922.
