Good data but poor reading.

Short but informationwise clear descriptions of a few naval battles won by the British during the Napoleonic wars. Unfortunately a very bombastic language, it distracts from the reading. A flavour of 18th century propaganda. Successes are explained by British superiority. Linguistic repetitions, eg the phrase "may be imagined" is severely overused.. The images are of so poor quality as to be more disappointing than enlightening. In short: a disappointment.
