John Marshall (c.1784 1837) was a naval officer and biographer. He
first went to sea at the age of nine, and by the end of the
Napoleonic Wars in 1815 had reached the rank of lieutenant. After
the war, he started to research the lives of contemporary
high-ranking naval officers, some of whose service reached as far
back as 1760. These volumes, first published between 1823 and 1830,
contain the results of this monumental research, and demonstrate
the new 'cult' of the navy in the early nineteenth century. Some of
the biographies were contributed by the officers themselves, with
others containing private or official letters and other records.
Organised according to seniority in rank, these volumes contain a
wealth of fascinating information on the careers of naval officers
and battles and wars in which they took part. Volume 4, Part 2,
contains the conclusion of biographies of commanders.
