Hcfenowle gment. As I design the following pages to form an elementary treatise on Naval Tactics, and to be used as a text-book, I have, in order to simplify matters, omitted in the body of the work all reference to authorities by name. I therefore take this means of expressing my great indebtedness to the many writers upon this subject from whose books I have quoted, and whose ideas I have to a greater or less degree appropriated. WM. BAINBRIDGE-HOFF, Commander, U. S. Navy. Washington, D. C, A pril, 1894.
