English Admiralty Seeks American Naval Histories

THERE are reliable indications that the English Admiralty are waking up to the fact that it would be a good thing for them to become possessed of standard works on American naval history, such as Theodore Roosevelt’s work on the War of 1812 and Captain Mahan’s writings. It may be added that the Navy Department at Washington has for years bought for the libraries of American men-of-war copies of all naval works appearing in England and upon the Continent.
