The most renowned naval officer of the mid-nineteenth century,
Thomas Cochrane, Tenth Earl of Dundonald (1775-1860), served in
wars against Spain and France, retiring as an admiral in the Royal
Navy. He was also an M.P., vociferously calling for naval reform in
Parliament. Due to a financial scandal, he left the Royal Navy for
a period and became a celebrated mercenary, commanding naval forces
in the wars of independence of Chile, Peru, Brazil and Greece.
First published in 1851, this work contains notes on a voyage of
1849 around the West Indies and North America. Describing the
peoples and geography encountered, it offers progressive remarks on
the end of slavery, criticisms of plantation owners, and
suggestions for commercial improvements. The book remains of
enduring interest to scholars of naval, colonial and Caribbean
history.
