Is Historian Maclay Guilty of Piagerisan ?
A letter to the editor in 1901 questions Rudyard Kipling’s later work and then shifts to critique historian Maclay. It argues Maclay’s navy history is partisan, plagiaristic, and biased against Admiral Schley, citing alleged copied passages and selective victors in 1812 and earlier wars. It labels Maclay's method as suspect and calls for accuracy and fair play.
