Excerpt from War: Reproduced With Amendments From the Article in the Last Edition of the "Encyclopaedia Britannica"; To Which Is Added, an Essay on Military Literature and a List of Books, With Brief Comments Otherwise, the essay, with a few trifling verbal altera tions, stands as it did. I have to apologise to my Ameri can readers for a ludicrous slip by which, in the original article, I substituted the name of Longstreet for Stuart, in speaking of the American cavalry of the civil war. It escaped my notice till I came to revise my work. Oddly enough, none of my critics noticed it till I had finally printed off the corrected edition as it now stands, with Stuart's name in its proper place. I have thought it better to reserve for this preface, and not to incorporate in the text, a notice of certain important questions which have come into prominence within the last few months.

Maurice served as private secretary to Sir Garnet Wolseley in the Ashanti Campaign of 1873-1874; in the Zulu War in 1880; was deputy assistant adjutant general of the Egyptian expedition in 1882; and was brevetted colonel in 1885. In 1885-1892 he was professor of military history at the Staff College, Camberley, and in 1895 was promoted to major general. In 1905 Maurice was part of a team which went to Berlin to negotiate with the Germans on the problems of the Navy estimates and the escalating threat posed to the Empire. The first USS Bridge (AF-1) was the lead ship of her class of stores ships for the United States Navy, and served in both World War I and World War II. Bridge was launched on 18 May 1916 at the Boston Navy Yard; sponsored by Mrs. Granville Searcy Fleece, a grandniece of Commodore Bridge; and commissioned on 2 June 1917, Lieutenant Commander W. K. Riddle in command. Following her commissioning Bridge loaded stores and provisions, and transported and issued them to the fleet and shore stations.
