The Russian Navy In The Russo Japanese War Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Russian Navy in the Russo-Japanese War In translating this work I have endeavoured to do justice both to the author and to the British Public. I have kept to the author's text as much as possible, and though he has said many things about my country, which I as an Englishman do not agree with, I have, nevertheless, translated the bare, unpolished statements in order that my countrymen may know what is being said about them. In one of his letters to me, Captain Klado frankly acknowledges that his writings may not be agreeable reading for an Englishman, but expresses the opinion that in a free country one ought to hear all the critics.
