More on title page:
While containing much useful data, this book resembles a confused Phd thesis! Author forgets main purpose and wanders about.
a) There are too few maps and those are bad or hopelessly inadequate.
B)There is far too much wasted space on portraits, skethces and repeated (of the same battle or ship) paintings,
C) There is no outline or discussion of ship types of the period, such as size, armament, rigging, sails and purpose.
D) Terms such as "Corvette, Xebac, Frigate, ketch, etc" are used throughout and never defined. ( )
