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 contents
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 3 (1800) contains biographies of
heroes of recent significant battles, including a detailed
biography of Lord Nelson and articles on Sir John Borlase Warren
and Sir John Moore. Literature reviews and a historical review of
shipbuilding are also included. Among the technical reports are
discussions of prototype lifeboats, medical articles on yellow
fever, and illustrated topographical descriptions of Falmouth
harbour and the English Harbour in Antigua.
