    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    When I click on that Yahoo link it takes me to my own personal mailbox, Bill. However, the other one works. Thank you for sharing this article with us.
