Excerpt from Letters and Papers, Vol. 1: Relating to the First Dutch War, 1652-1654
TO enable naval writers to form a correct esti mate Of the proceedings Of even one side in a war it is desirable that they should have before them all the evidence accessible from both the contending parties. I have therefore done my best to secure dispatches and other Official records from the Admiralty Papers at the Hague, though there can be little doubt that a Dutch scholar would be able to augment their number. In a few cases documents Of some importance have been found in print, the sources of which are indicated in the text, as is the case with the English papers. In this connection I have especially to thank his Grace the Duke of Portland for his kindness in permitting the volumes Of his mss. Containing Naval Papers to remain at the British Museum for some months at the disposal Of the Society.
