It was not out of character with the castal British way to leave to an American sailor, Admiral MAHAN, the task of writing both an analysis of The Influence of Sca Power upon History and also the authoritative and profea slonal biography of NELSON It is u great pity that to this day there is no uprcise life of NELSON setting out in non-technical manner the groat seaman's professional achieve ments, and their significance in the development of the art and science of warfare. Writers with no knowledge either of war or of the sen have made the victor of Trafalgar a figure, in the popular mind, of centiment and romance a somewhat tiresome person to the average Briton. But it was no lily handed lover who won the trust of the rough martinets of the
