Excerpt from Britain on and Beyond the Sea: Being a Handbook to the Navy League Map of the World This little book is dedicated to the British Schoolboy, and is intended as a Handbook to the Navy League Map of the World. It does not profess to be original, but the greatest care has been taken to ensure accuracy by consulting all the available authorities on the subject. The author's special acknowledgments are due to Mr Hamilton Williams, Captain Mahan, Rear-Admiral S. Eardley Wilmot, R.N., Dr T. Miller Maguire, M.A., F.R.Hist.S., W. J. N. Griffith, B.A., and H. S. Vere Hodge, B.A., for much kind assistance. For the descriptions of the Empire, standard books of reference have been consulted. The author wishes to draw attention to the List of Naval Engagements printed on the top of the Map. These engagements are numbered and dated. The corresponding number will be found at that spot on the Map where the fight took place, and the description of the light in the text of Chapter I. is shown by the number, name, and date of the engagement printed in a marginal inset. In using the Index this system of finding the account of a given subject by means of its date should also be used.
