Hello Professor, I've been given the task of subediting your article on Square-Riggers. My copy of the article is at A1149257, and I would welcome your comments. I don't want to make changes with which you disagree.

One thing I would like to clarify at this point: You state that the 18th Century was the century during which the Napoleonic Wars took place. Since they actually took place from 1803 to 1815, do you actually mean 1800s? If so do you mean 1700s (18th Century) rather than 17th Century and so on, or was the section on 'The 18th Century' actually meant to be 'The 19th Century'?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Bernadette.

I think I've finished at last. I'm returning it to the editors soon; would you mind casting your eye over it and telling me if you approve?

Looking it over, it looks very nice. I approve of all changes made.
One thing though, you have written "Before the single rudder ships often carried two or more rudders" --should there not be a comma after before?

Thanks for editing,
