FOREWORD

"OWING to the untimely death of my distinguished co-author, it devolves on me to launch this book upon the sea of public criticism. The idea embodied therein bears, at least, the imprint of novelty. Yet it seemed that a book could be written around a " Trafalgar Refought ; " and to this end we worked together, endeavouring, whilst losing none of those subtle touches of history which have made the Trafalgar campaign such entrancing reading to all Britons, to produce a vivid picture of likely happenings at sea had Nelson lived in this present year of grace. And in our work we have received the unstinted aid of many distinguished officers, and to them I offer my heartiest thanks. Lastly, I would express the sorrow and regret occasioned by the loss of Sir William Laird Clowes, whose long illness and death robbed me in a large measure of that valuable co-operation which alone would have gone far to assure the book success.

ALAN H. BURGOYNE.
BROADLANDS, ASCOT,
October 1905."
