“The translations are for the most part satisfactory. We should without reserve thank Mr. Fraser for his interesting and important contribution to Trafalgar literature, were it not that he and his publishers are guilty of the sin of issuing this book—full as it is of matter bearing on recent controversy and living problems—with a most insufficient index, one scarcely deserving the name.”

“Mr. Fraser’s account of the battle compiled from French and Spanish records will be very useful to check the numerous versions, good, bad, and indifferent, now in existence which have had to rely more or less on British sources for their information. The plates add considerably to the attraction of this fascinating and useful book.”
