Naval tactics : Or, A treatise of evolutions and signals, with cuts, lately published in France, for the use of the cadets, or guard-marines, of the academy at Brest; and now established as a complete system of the marine discipline of that nation. By Mons. De Morogues, captain in the Fleet, chief of a Brigade of the Royal Corps of Artillery, member of the Academy of Marine, and correspondent of the Royal Academy of Sciences. Translated by a Sea-officer. To which is added, by way of supplement, some familiar thoughts and observations on sea-fights, and naval discipline in general, with the duty and conduct of a captain in particular; taken from an original manuscript of a late experienced commander; written occasionally for the use of his son on his first being made on officer.-A general sketch of marine architecture,-The regulations used by the French in the convoys.-Remarks on their marine, &c.-The establishment of the Danish Marine Academy. Also, as an useful adjunct to this work, a transcript of a proposal for encreasing the strength of the British Navy with regard to it's guns and proper quantity of power for service, &c. by the late famous Benjamin Robins, Esq; F.R.S. and engineer to the Honourable East-India Company. The whole carefully collected from authentic materials, properly digested and ranged under their respective heads, and brought under one general point of view, with occasional notes and remarks throughout. Illustrated chiefly by the more recent examples of some of our commanding officers, who particularly distinguished themselves either by their courage or conduct in the course of last war.
