Category : History

Book Description
Excerpt from Studies in Naval History Biographies These Studies, now collected from the different magazines in which they have first appeared, will not, I hope, be considered as merely reclaimed waifs; for the idea of thus bringing them together in a more permanent form has always been present to me, even whilst originally writing them: and having carefully revised them by the light of the most recent published information and of our own Records, to which the Admiralty has been pleased to permit me free access, I offer them, not only as the relation of some stirring episodes in naval history, but as, each in its own way, a contribution to the earnest study of naval policy, strategy, or tactics. I have only to add that the dates relating to Continental affairs are given throughout in New Style: those which belong to English correspondence, English records, or to purely English incidents are in Old Style; though occasionally I have given the double date. It is always a troublesome point, and I can only hope that I have minimised the customary confusion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

History of the United States Navy, and Biographical Sketches of American Naval Heroes
Author: Charles Jacobs PetersonPublisher: Forgotten Books

Pages : 644
Book Description
Excerpt from History of the United States Navy, and Biographical Sketches of American Naval Heroes: From the Formation of the Navy to the Close of the Mexican War The present work, therefore, differs from any yet published. It is intended to combine the advantages of all, so far as this is possible, within the compass of a single volume. It gives in a compact mass, what is elsewhere to be found only in detached portions. The plan, it is believed, is entirely ori ginal. And the conviction that it will be found acceptable, also, has induced the publishers to expend large sums, in order that the volume may be issued in a style worthy of the subject, and worthy likewise of general patronage.

Book Description
Excerpt from Nelson: And Other Naval Studies Ith one exception the essays here collected have appeared previously at different times during the last few years in various serial publications. I have to thank the conductors of The Times, The Quarterly Re view, The Naval Annual, The United Service Magazine, and The National Review for permission to reprint them. I Should add that I do not claim the authorship of the first paper in the volume. It originally appeared in The Times as a leading article on the hundredth anniversary of Trafalgar, and it so well represents the spirit in which, as I think, Englishmen should celebrate an anniversary of the kind that I have obtained the permission of the conductors of The Times to reprint it as a fitting intro duction to a volume which deals so largely with Nelson and his crowning victory at Trafalgar.
