The principal aim of this volume is to present a point-by-point refutation of the claims made by John Clerk (1728--1812), a writer on naval strategy. Clerk maintained that Admiral Rodney had achieved his success in the battle of Saints Passage on 12 April 1782 by following the suggestions that Clerk had laid down in 'Essay on Naval Tactics'. Captain Thomas White, a naval officer, set out to show that Clerk's claims had little substance to them. The volume discusses other land and naval battles but the major importance of the book lies in its minute and expert analysis of one of the most significant sea battles of the Revolutionary War.
