Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. A complete two volume set of this controversial work on the History of the United States Navy, by Edgar Stanton Maclay. Edgar Stanton Maclay was an American journalist and historian, who worked as a reporter for the 'Brooklyn Times' and 'New York Tribune' and served on the editorial staff of the 'Tribune' and the 'New York Sun'. Whilst appointed as the lighthouse keeper at Old Field Point in 1901, Maclay received an appointment at the New York Navy Yard, and hence edited the 'Journal of William Maclay', and produced this work, the 'History of the United States Navy'. The controversy surrounding this work (that ultimately brought about Maclay's dismissal from government employ) was largely due to a passage in the work that stigmatized Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley as a "caitiff, poltroon and coward" for his conduct in the naval fight off Santiago, Cuba on 3 July 1898. For this, Maclay's dismissal was ordered by President Roosevelt in 1901. Featuring publisher's advertisements to the rear of volume I. Copiously illustrated throughout with monochromatic maps, plates and in-text illustrations. In the publisher's original cloth binding with embossed copper panel to the front board of each volume.
