A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Captain Klado sworks last year, when he entrusted me with the translation of The Russian Navy in the Russo-J apanese War into English. This book was so well received, both by the Press and Public of this country, and Captain Klado sposition as an eminent naval critic so openly recognized, that I undertook with the greatest pleasure the translation and compilation of this volume. From the documents sent me I have translated all that I thought would interest my countrymen. As will be seen, the whole of the first and much of the second part is written by Captain Klado. The remainder consists of reports, authentic narratives and letters from the seat of war, by officers and others who took an active part in the naval battles. These valuable contributions were obtained by the author, without whose influential aid it would have been difficult for me to secure them. As they give the best account of the naval battles which it has been possible to obtain up to the present, I am doubly thankful that I am able to place them before the readers of this work. I must express my thanks to Mr. F. P. Marchant, without whose valued assistance the publication of this volume would have been considerably retarded; to the manager of The Times, with whose kind permission I reproduce extracts from some highly interesting and important articles which appeared in that paper ;and lastly to my readers, whose kind indulgence I crave, and who will more than recompense me for my labour if they accord the same reception to this translation as they did to the last.
