Synopsis
Excerpt from Select Naval Documents
The papers here printed may be divided into two classes. The first class consists of documents, such as the Fighting Instructions and the Trafalgar Memorandum, which are of great importance in themselves, and which have been frequently printed at length, but not in a single volume: most of these are here reprinted by kind permission of the Navy Records Society, to whose volumes this book is intended to be an elementary introduction, and without which its compilation could not have been attempted. Where there is no locus classicus, we have tried to choose the more lively and less accessible illustrations. Many of the passages in this class appear in print for the first time.
