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 36, published in 1816, contains official reports and eyewitness accounts of the Bombardment of Algiers by Lord Exmouth in retaliation for the Dey of Algiers having broken the recently negotiated treaty forbidding the taking of slaves. Technical reports focus on the total solar eclipse of that year and the discovery of sunspot formation. Maps and descriptions of Copenhagen harbour and Algiers are also included.
