The National Study of Naval History II. New Methods of Research

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  12 February 2009

Extract

In the present paper I propose only to refer to a single problem of the modern study of history, naval or otherwise—the exigencies of research.

Naval history is at length recognised as a subject of special study ; it has its historians, its scholars, students, and the general readers of its special publications, and it has a large and powerful society which represents their literary interests.
