Excerpt from Ironclads in Action, Vol. 1: A Sketch of Naval Warfare From 1855 to 1895, With Some Account of the Development of the Battleship in England Now it is, of course, vain to complain of a state of things which is a characteristic of the age in which we live, affecting all other pursuits that deal with material, as well as our own.
