Naval Battles: Ancient and Modern (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Naval Battles: Ancient and Modern In most instances an endeavor has been made to give, in a concise manner, the causes which led to these encounters, as well as the results obtained. As this book is not intended for professional men, technicalities have been, as far as possible, avoided. But it is often necessary to use the language and phraseology of those who fought these battles. In all there has been a desire to give an unbiased account of each battle; and, especially, to make no statement for which authority cannot be found.
