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 25, published in 1811, contains
eyewitness accounts and official reports of the British capture of
Mauritius and of the Banda Islands in Indonesia. Official reports
of the Battle of Anholt (Denmark) are also included, together with
complaints about French privateers sailing unchallenged through the
Channel, and a chart and description of Valetta (Malta). The volume
also notes the passage through Parliament of the Regency Bill.
