Description:
The Naval Chronicle, published in 40 volumes between 1799 and 1818, is a key source for British maritime and military history. This reissue is the first complete printed reproduction of what was the most influential maritime publication of its day. The subjects covered range from accounts of battles and lists of ships to notices of promotions and marriages, courts martial and deaths, and biographies, poetry and letters. Each volume also contains engravings and charts relating to naval engagements and important harbours around the world. Volume 9, published in 1803 at the end of the Peace of Amiens, includes accounts of Parliamentary discussions concerning the forthcoming war and the official declaration of war which lists Britain's grievances with France and Holland. It also contains proclamations designed to increase manpower in the Navy, a detailed article describing the health of Greenwich pensioners, and a biography of James Cook.
