Excerpt from Modern Ships of War After many years of neglect, the people of this country have awakened to the necessity of creating a modern fleet. Proud as they were of the Navy's achievements in the past, they failed for a long time to exhibit any interest in its present or future, and met all claims for its re-establishment by a denial of its usefulness, or by a lazy opti mism of indifference which smilingly put the question by. Indeed, at one time, the popular solicitude disappeared completely, and outside of the service there was manifested neither an alarm at its degeneracy nor an appreciation of the dangers this made possible. With an apathy inexplicable upon any rational grounds, the notes of warning sounded by experts were unheeded, and the law-makers contented themselves by pinning their faith to what they called the creative possibilities of American genius. They accepted this fallacy as a fact, they made this phrase a fetich, and with a fatuous hope believed it could, by some cc cult inspiration, in the event of sudden, sharp, and short war, save them from the fighting-machines which twenty years of tireless experiment had perfected abroad. In the end, by a neatly balanced policy of pride and folly, the Navy was exhausted almost to dissolution. Then Con gress lazily bestirred itself to action, and prescribed as a remedy three unarmored cruisers and a despatch-boat.. Heroic treatment, not homoeopathy, was needed; but, thanks to a naturally Vigorous constitution, the bolus sufficed to lift the patient out of the throes, and to encourage him into a languid convalescence. Lucki ly, the vessels became a party question, and their historic tribulations did so much towards educating the nation that a public sentiment was aroused which made a modern navy possible. It must be confessed, however, that the demand even yet is not so vociferous as to dominate all other issues, though there is apparent everywhere a quickening de sire for the country to take, if not the first, at least a respectable, place among the great maritime powers.

Excerpt from Ancient and Modern Ships, Vol. 2: The Era of Steam, Iron Steel The production of the first volume of this handbook was rendered difficult by the scantiness of trustworthy records. A similar remark applies to the first chapter of the present volume, Which deals with the history of the earliest days of steam navigation. On the other hand, in writing the remainder of the book, the difficulty has rather been to select from the superabundance of available material. Limits of space have rendered it necessary to reject a great deal, and that which has been selected is only what appeared to be essential for the purpose of putting before the reader a history, in outline, of the development of modern ships. This volume is, in the main, devoted to mercantile ships. The man-oi - war, considered as a fighting machine, has not been touched; in fact war vessels have only been alluded to when the introduction of peculiarities in their construction seriously influenced the development of shipbuilding. The evolution of the war ship as a fighting machine, from the time of the introduction of steam down to the present day, affords abundant material for a separate work.

Excerpt from War-Ships: A d104-Book on the Construction, Protection, Stability, Turning, Etc; Of War Vessels The present work has been prepared in response to suggestions made by a number of the senior naval officers taking the course in Naval Architecture at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich. An attempt has been made to treat the subject from the naval officer's standpoint, and certain parts of the subject have been treated at some length with a view of meeting their special requirements. I am indebted to several officers for valuable suggestions as to the subject-matter likely to be of most use. The blank pages at the end have been inserted in order to provide space to note particulars and details peculiar to the ship on which an officer is serving, and to note changes of practice which may occur. The text is illustrated by a large number of carefully drawn diagrams. A number of questions have been prepared as an Appendix. These questions in many cases are designed to lead to inquiry and discussion, and cannot be directly answered from the text. I am indebted to the Controller of the Navy, Rear-Admiral W.H. May M.V.O., for his permission to undertake the work, and to the Director of Naval Construction, Philip Watts, Esq, F.R.S., LL.D, for his kindly interest in the undertaking. The book is, however, not an official publication. Although prepared primarily for naval officers, yet it is believed that the work will prove a useful introduction to the subject of Naval Architecture for apprentices and students at the Royal Dockyards and elsewhere.

Excerpt from Famous British War-Ships: And Their Commanders IN the sketches which compose this book it has been the author's aim to improve upon the convenient custom of rewriting volumes of a kindred nature. An endeavour has been made to afford a glimpse of the character of the officers whose work has done so much to make the naval power of England what it is to-day, as well as of the means with which that work was done. In selecting subjects much difficulty has naturally been met, and no doubt the absence of many honoured names will be felt. But the volume had its limits, and the field of choice was wide. In the space available the main purpose in view was to present a story that should interest and inform as well as stir, and to that end no labour has been Spared to B.
