Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Naval Documents The use of 'source-books' in historical studies has been justified by experience: the imagination can hardly fail to be quickened by the living voices of the past. In addition to this purpose - the provision of colour and the heightening of the personal aspect, we have another - the smoothing of the approach to a highly technical subject. Naval History is so different from land History, and sailing ships are so different from steamships, that the subject abounds in pitfalls. The belief is still common that the 'big ships' of the Armada were defeated by 'cockleshells' manned by volunteers; plans of battles still appear in which ships are shown sailing straight into the wind; the strategy of blockade is frequently discussed in the abstract, apart from its practical problems. The cure for such misconceptions lies in concrete illustrations of the limiting conditions of sea warfare. Many of the points emphasized may at first seem trivial: unless they are made vivid, they are not realized to be vital. If we appear to lay too much stress upon administrative defects, we would remind our readers that they only heighten the fame of the admirals who triumphed in spite of them. It is obvious that a book of this size can in no sense be exhaustive, but can deal only with certain aspects: there are large gaps which must be filled by the text-book, which this selection is intended to supplement, not to replace. Thus, while conflicting evidence is produced, for example, on the tactics employed at the Chesapeake in September, 1781, no direct mention is made of Lord Howe's tactics on June 1, 1794. Again, a considerable space has been allotted to the work of Kempenfelt, to whose genius scant justice is usually done.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Publications of the Navy Records Society, Vol. 48: The Spencer Papers, Vol. II The papers included in this part are selected from those referred to in the General Introduction (vol. I. P. Xxi.) which came to light too late to be included in the first volume. They should therefore be read with those contained in Part VII. They will also be found to throw light on Part VIII, as showing why it was that the arrangements for intercepting Hoche's expedition to Ireland were so seriously confused by the apprehension that his objective might be Portugal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naval Miscellany, Vol. 1 IN the course of the last few years I have received from different quarters and have collected a variety Of documents, individually too short for a volume, and yet of such interest as to render it very desirable to lay them before the Society. In considering how best to do this, the Council resolved that they would from time to time issue a miscellaneous volume Of such papers. This is the first. In preparing the several items Of it for the press, I have had the able assistance of Mr. Corbett. Who, fresh from his studies Of Drake and Drake's successors, took charge of the Voyage to Cadiz, ' which, by itself, with its unique map and representations of early divisional flags, would make the volume noteworthy. For the editing Of the other papers I am personally responsible, though I have unsparingly taxed the assistance of many friends to whom I have referred points Of difficulty. To them and to the owners Of the papers I return my warmest thanks for the gift - not to me, but to the Society, and through it.

Download or read book Selected Papers written by Herbert Robbins and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbert Robbins is widely recognized as one of the most creative and original mathematical statisticians of our time. The purpose of this book is to reprint, on the occasion of his seventieth birthday, some of his most outstanding research. In making selections for reprinting we have tried to keep in mind three potential audiences: (1) the historian who would like to know Robbins' seminal role in stimulating a substantial proportion of current research in mathematical statistics; (2) the novice who would like a readable, conceptually oriented introduction to these subjects; and (3) the expert who would like to have useful reference material in a single collection. In many cases the needs of the first two groups can be met simulta neously. A distinguishing feature of Robbins' research is its daring originality, which literally creates new specialties for subsequent generations of statisticians to explore. Often these seminal papers are also models of exposition serving to introduce the reader, in the simplest possible context, to ideas that are important for contemporary research in the field. An example is the paper of Robbins and Monro which initiated the subject of stochastic approximation. We have also attempted to provide some useful guidance to the literature in various subjects by supplying additional references, particularly to books and survey articles, with some remarks about important developments in these areas.

Download or read book The Naval Miscellany Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by John Knox Laughton and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naval Miscellany, Vol. 2 I have to apologise to our members for the delay in the preparation of this volume, due mainly to my own shortcomings. I can hope that, now that it appears, it will win for me a ready forgiveness, bearing with it, as it does, the work of so many and such distinguished colleagues; to whom, as well as to the private owners of papers included in the volume, I venture, in the name of the Society, to offer my most hearty thanks. For myself, too, I would very sincerely thank the many kind friends who have assisted me in trying to solve some of the curious conundrums which have presented themselves - e.g.: 'les voiles embossees'; 'scipper thrum cappsons'; 'there's life in a musle yet' - phrases which, I am afraid, I have given some of them cause long to remember. It will be seen that in the first two articles, dating from the early sixteenth century, the custom of the Society has been departed from and the original spelling has been preserved. Where so many of the words and phrases are obsolete and their meaning uncertain, it would have been practically impossible to do otherwise: to attempt it, even, would have been incongruous.
