The Naval Chronicle: Contemporary Views of the War at Sea: v. 1 Dr Nicholas Tracy
From 1799 to 1819 over 1000 pages of naval news and views were published every year in The Naval Chronicle. It included action reports, intelligence of foreign naval matters, biographies of officers, anecdotes and stories and poetry, and the publication was quickly recognised as the most reliable and comprehensive record of naval events. This edition, in five volumes, contains all the most significant material from the originals.
