Mr, John Richard Hale spopular account of the evolution of naval warfare F amous Sea Fights from Salamis to Tsushima Methuen Co., Ltd.). It is an attempt to trace in the same way the development of land fighting from the days of early tribal warfare to the great conflicts of Nations in Arms in our own time. The evolution of weapons and tactics is described in bold outline, typical battles being dealt with in fuller detail in each of the great periods of history. I am quite aware that some of my conclusions as to various points are still matters of debate among experts. To give one instance, I am familiar with Professor Delbruck stheory, according to which the armies engaged in many famous battles of antiquity and of the early medieval period were mustered in much smaller force than that assigned to them by the usually accepted tradition of history. It will be seen that I adopt this view only to a very partial extent. But in a popular work of this kind one cannot discuss rival theories and state at length the arguments for and against them.
