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 15, published in 1806, contains addenda to the biography of Lord Nelson published in Volume 14, including an account of his last months and details of his funeral. Biographies of William Dannett and Cuthbert, Lord Collingwood are included, together with the sixth Report of the Commissioners of Naval Inquiry and maps and descriptions of the Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and St Lucia.
