Synopsis
Excerpt from A Short History of the Union Jack: Comprising a Chronological List of Its Important Victories, Apportioned to the Three Stages of Our Flag's Development, From Sluys to Tel-El-Kebir, With Notes on the Principal Battles This little work was begun as a diversion during a vacation, and was originally intended to be a mere pamphlet for use in the author's household only, as a supplement to the ordinary school text-books used by the members - especially the boys - of his family; but as the task progressed it grew correspondingly more congenial, and, in the enthusiasm of the subject, proceeded until it attained, almost unwittingly, the proportions of a small volume, which, at the earnest solicitations of his friends, he has ventured to offer to the public. Apologies for defects of such efforts are often prefixed more to propitiate vanity than for any real excuse: human nature, all the world knows, is not infallible - it is the best I could do in the short time and the very limited resources at my disposal, for I have had no opportunity for recourse to anything outside my own small library. To attempt a description of each of the battles listed in the following pages would, practically, be to write a complete military history of the British Empire, which the author of this simple work is not so presumptuous as to essay.
