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 31, published in 1814 at the end
of the Napoleonic wars, contains state papers describing the terms
of the peace treaty signed between Britain and the restored Bourbon
monarchy. Discussions concerning naval pay and the planned
reduction of the navy, a list of British fleets, ships and their
commanders as of 1814 and a biography of Sir George Young are also
included.
